AG alternative to BMW

BMW sells a product called EXPRESS WAX SPRAY
It is quite remarkable and solved the WORST problem that I have in washing my car.

The water here is so BAD that after a wash and rinse the waterspots are so BAD that the I can hardly see out of the windshield.

The only way to have the car usable after a wash is to use a detail spray after drying.

Today that problem was solved with the BMW Express wax.

I just sprayed it on to the just washed body panel before rinsing, then I rinsed and I washed another section, did the same and completed the wash.

After drying the car was absolutely spotless. The windows were clear as a bell.

The surface shined as well as it did after using a detail spray or spray wax as I usually had to do.

Another benefit was that the added lubrication seemed to reduce the chance of any new scratches from the towel.

I have tried ONR in the wash but it did not do the trick.. Nothing in my extensive aresenal did.

So my question is does AG have an alternative to the BMW product that I can buy from AG ?

Re: AG alternative to BMW

I think you would have the same results if you sprayed a quick detailer, spray wax or sealant on before drying.

From what I know, This product used to be made Sonax, but I was told it's no longer made by them in NA market. I'd try Sonax High Speed Wax.

Express wax is no longer available or Sonax no longer makes it?
I have not purchased in a number of years. I had 5 bottles and just rediscovered it.

Re: AG alternative to BMW

Meguiar's offers a product just for high-speed hand waxing after washing for production detailing and high volume car washes called D157 X-Press Liquid Wax.

When Meguiar's first launched their Detailer Line back in the early 1990's I had the Oregon Territory and did quite well with this product introducing it to car washes and it did work well back then and chances are very good with 20+ years that have gone by that it works even better now.

Meguiars X-Press Liquid Wax is a fast way to apply shine and lasting protection to your car. Apply Meguiars Express Liquid Wax with your polisher or


Back then, I called on shops carrying both the Pro Line and the Detailer Line in my Milk Truck, it's actually why I bought the Milk Truck, I used it as my route truck.

1966 Milk Truck





Meguiar's also introduced a a synthetic version of the above for the same purpose and market, it's also a product we introduced on the second season of our TV show.

Meguiars Synthetic X-press Spray Wax, X-press car wax, Meguiars X-press spray liquid wax, D156



Start out with one, after you use it up try the other, by the time you get through the second product you'll know which one works best for you.

Cool, are both versions ok to have Carnuba layered over them ?

My guess is if the surface is dry and you apply a Carnauba wax over either of them it's going to make the paint look great and you won't find that overnight the Carnauba wax slipped off and piled up around the car body on the garage floor.

There's always the camp of people that will comment about bonding issues but I'm going to step out on a limb here and take a wild guess that you "touch" your car's paint often enough with something that longevity won't be an issue no matter what you use.


Just a guess...
