[QUOTE="KrisMas, post: 433007, member: 14200"] Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Wax (UQW) is a good alternative to the Optimum Car Wax (OCW), both are spray type of waxes except that OCW boast [B]up to[/B] 5 months of protection (which I'm currently testing) . There's nothing much to differentiate them and both are produced by reputable companies. You wont be able to feel major improvement in the smoothness nor see major improvement in the gloss of the surface with waxing alone as around 90% of it would come from what we call 'surface preparation' (clean, clay, polish, etc) before the waxing steps. Also, waxes/sealant last longer if applied on a clean and fresh surface. And about ONR, what it contained (amongst others) is just something that can be termed as 'gloss/protection enhancing agent', of which, on it's own, is not a 'true' wax/protection. To truly appreciate how a well detailed car would feel or look, you'd need to send it to a reputable detailer for a full detail and, believe me, it would look and feel better than a new car coming out of the dealership (not to mention far easier to wash/ONR). Back to washing, I've been washing my own car(s) for quite a numbers of years now and I do feel that it's by far quite therapeutic. For me it relieves a lot of work-related stress and a good excuse to have some good quality time with the kids under the shade with lots of water :3::3::3: And if I don't have the time to wash my car(s), I'd rather let it be and wash it when I have the time then sending it to those 'under the tree' car *wash*.
