Meguiars spray wax vs. turtle wax experience
 
So i've used turtle wax a while ago and now I tried Meguiar's spray wax and I got a much better result. Just thought of sharing it with all of you if anyone was on the fence.

Ive used both and saw no real difference. The turtle wax lasted longer the car than the Meguiars in my application.

Yeah I just waxed it yesterday so time will tell.

Do you know the difference between spray wax and liquid wax? Spray wax is more a short-term type, for in between waxes or detailing after a wash. Spray waxes aren't as strong or as effective as a standard liquid so the result would be noticeably different if done on a cleaned surface.

In my experience, I tend to avoid the types of waxes at Autozone and the like cause they're the heavily marketed stuff with fancy shiny boxes and "technologies" and stuff that catch the eye to sell lots of bottles. I go to auto paint stores where they sell the stuff that paint shops use for their customers.

I personally use Meguiars Ultimate Polish about every 6 months after I use a clay bar. Then I use Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0 for the base layer of wax, then for the extra "pop" I use Mothers Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax. The latter two I use in between clay bar and polish.

If I'm feeling lazy I'll just use either the Synthetic Sealant 2.0 for better protection but less "pop" or the Carnauba Wax for the look but less protection. I just don't use sprays, and I've tried all the other stuff including Turtle Wax, none of them just looked as good as Meguiars top stuff and Mothers Carnauba.

I also have tried both Meguiars and Mothers detail sprays and I go back and forth, leaning a bit more to Meguiars cause it seems less aggressive on the wax layer.

I'm aware. I'm always in a time crunch to wash and wax and my only option is to do it by hand.

Personally I have used Meguiars since 2000 when I had my tuning shop in Illinois. The company stands behind their products.
