Excellent I might have to get more of this stuff. I feel like I don't wax often enough already, so this stuff after the in between washes seems perfect!

and you dont NEED to clay before wax. it's better you have no contaminants on the paint to maximize wax/polymer adhesion, but not necessary especially if spray wax as it's a quicky like mr.alcheng said.
Your explanations are always comforting, Mr. Kenchan I'd rep you if I weren't out

I'm curious to get your feedback on the product. Let us know your thoughts after the fact.
The Quik Wax spray seems like a solid product. I definitely have a nice shine that isn't there after a normal wash. And because it was incredibly easy to apply, I will probably make it standard routine for the washes in between clay and wax

I did the car in about 13 sections:

Roof (2), Hood (2), D/P Front Fender, D/P Door + Sideskirt, D/P Rear Fender, Rear Bumper (2), Hatch + Spoiler

I used one towel to spread the wax after spraying it directly on the panel. Then I used a separate towel for the final clean wipe for each section. It worked great and only took about 10 minutes to do the whole car

Note: I never wax my front bumper. I figure the sooner it starts looking ratty, the sooner I'll have a reason to replace it (probably with another stock)
