Review: Optimum Spray On Wax

Full review pending with the rising of the sun, but initial reaction was nice. We did my roommate's Rav4, which hasn't seen wax/polish in quite a while. Washed it with Zaino Z7 then sprayed the Optimum thoroughly and wiped clean. Looks pretty d*mn good at night. Surface is pretty slick too considering the paint isn't perfect.

I'll let you know how it looks in the sun, and how long it lasts. And since I'm in Florida, I should have a "what happens when it rains" review within a few minutes

Shiny though

I remember trying a spray on wax waaaay back when they first came out... Can't remember what brand it was to be honest...

Anyway, I was annoyed by it. It sounded easier to apply... (simply spray on), but overspray went EVERYWHERE, and I had tiny little wax dots all over thw windshield, tires, black trim, driveway...

Looks great day and night. Beads well, and seems to be staying rather clean. I almost want to say it's attracting dust, but there's a tree nearby that pollenated, so scratch that... EVERYTHING is covered in little orange dots now (even my truck).

Oh well, now we get to see how well it holds up against washes
