BTW, in terms of protection i'd make sure car is waxed beforehand.

The Lucas spray is just a shine enhancer as i've come to find. I called Lucas down in LA and they stated its more of a detailer than a 'wax,' but can be used any way I like... lol


Still waiting for sunny day so i can grab pics.
Hmm.. i dont feel confortable waxing before Spray wax, i clay bar before wax with Mothers, then wax it. Later, can i use Lucas? I mean, too much products on the surface

LoL never (IMHO) use spray wax as your only protector. I use a carnauba paste first like this

Then 24hrs later I use a spray wax..... i know wax removes wax but meh. I use it (spray wax) every time I wash too. If I can feel the wax is in good shape or just bored, then I dont use the spray wax and instead use the quick detailer aka Lucas. I also use it after bird poo or someone leaves oily fingerprints.


Lucas makes windows shiny too and I love it so i use it there weekly.


You can use Lucas like 24hrs or so after clay and wax. Let the wax settle in first imo. Oh another thing is you can spray Lucas into bucket of water with soap (if car not too dirty) and mix it. Last 2 washes I put a cup or two into my yellow wax and wash Meguiar's soap bucket and washed normally.

Once it dries, it looks nice and shiny! No smears!


^^^^^^^Above is whats worked for me the most, and because of that I will continue to do that. If one day I dislike it, then i'll change it, so dont take it as the only correct or only way to do anything hehe
