This stuff is amazing. My husband ran out of Griot's Garage Spray on Wax and I came to Amazon to check their prices. I stumbled onto Optimum's Car Wax (OCW) and it's much better than what he’s been using. This has more wax in it and a little goes a long way - one spray per panel is plenty. He’s now almost completely converted to Optimum's products.
All of Optimum's products I've purchased get 5 stars for ease of use and outstanding results. He used OCW as a main/base coat of wax and it looks fantastic. The shine is much deeper than GG Best of Show wax and it's easier to apply: just spray it on, wipe it around the panel, then wipe it off with a dry towel. The finish is very shiny and very slick. If you like the slick and shiny look you will love this. It's also easier to remove dust between washes with a car duster. The paint is 15 years old and it now looks new.
Make sure your towels are clean and dry on the final wipe or you'll have streaking. Again, a little goes a long way. Use one towel to apply and a separate towel to buff/remove. Don't let it dry and don't apply it in direct sunlight. If you're getting streaks, you're using too much product or you're not using a dry towel on the final wipe and buff.
He’s also using Optimum's Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer, and their No Rinse Wash and Wax as a touch-up detailer as needed: 2 ounces of ONRW mixed with 32 ounces of distilled water in spray bottle works great. All of Optimum's products he’s used are amazing and this one is his favorite.

So, my husband is on the same application from this initial review. The paint is still very shiny even after multiple washes, baking in the sun all summer, and the occasional rain storm during fall. He also used it on the headlights and tail lights to keep them looking new. He still uses a car duster to remove light dust and the No Rinse Wash and Wax detailer solution between washes. Love it!
Update 5-30-2020
My husband finally finished the bottle I purchased 6 years ago. This is hands down the best spray wax he’s EVER used. It’s not quite as “deep” as a liquid or paste wax. But those are a PITA to apply, only last 2-3 washes, and more for show cars than daily drivers.
All he uses to maintain our cars is a clay bar every 4-5 months (Griot’s is the best) with the No Rinse Wash and Wax as a solution. Then he’ll seal it with Opti Seal, finish up with Spray Wax, and use the No Rinse detailer spray in between washes.
This product is fantastic, the sprayer - not so much. He ended up reusing one of his empty Griot’s Garage spray bottles and fills it up as needed. Very easy to use with excellent results and HIGHLY recommended!
