Carnauba spray wax

I am not trying to sell this stuff but wow the car came out great! Backstory, my 2016 is 2 weeks old and first day I used an orbital to polish and carnauba wax. I have good results on other vehicles with the spray bottle detailer and wanted to use something with carnauba in the spray. I found Meguier's Carnauba spray detailer for black and dark colors. I don't get why it can't be used for all colors but whatever. So after my thorough wash and dry the wax I put on previous is holding up well so I used the spray. I just sprayed it on, okay to do it in direct sun also, applied it with a microfiber towel and used a separate microfiber for final removal. Well this stuff works great. I was sceptical at first but this stuff is my favorite detailer. i took a pic the best I could to show the effect and the metal flake just pops even more. Highly recommended for after washes and in between washes. It's all subjective and just showing my results. But give it a shot. Always good to test new stuff

Well all I can say the results speak for themselves. This is the best result I have seen from a spray wax/quick wax product.

just keep in mind, spray wax is for looks, not protection.

Yeah, I would suggest that you strip that wax off and apply a nice sealant, and then use the carnuba wax
But your color looks awesome! I want to compare it to my ultramarine

Yeah I ordered Blackfire crystal seal from autogeek. I chose that over the wet diamond because it's supposed to be a lot easier to use, but wet diamond is probably a little more durable.
Also they gave me a coupon code for 15% after joining the forum but I placed my order before I got it. It's forumjuly15, but I'm not sure if it still works.

edit: VVV @WhiteFRS69 Ive heard great things about Sonax! I need to try it out

Collinite 845 goes on easy, lasts forever, has a great shine, and isn't expensive.
