What QD/spray sealant to use after wash to help LSP and water spots?

[lucky417]

Was thinking about either crystal mist, Wolfgang spritz, v7 or dodo juice red mist. Would like it to help with water spots. (Always get some since I have no shade) and help with longevity of wax/sealant

What LSP are you going to have on the car? Different QD spray sealant is not going to alter the base LSP and works in more synergy than others.

Well I currently am using the combo of blackfire gloss enhancing polish and all paint protectant. Was using the polymer spray and it looks good but they rebranded th stuff and kinda want to try something new but I do like it alot. I'm open to lsp but wanted a sealant topped with a wax and then maintained with a spray after washes and help with water spots

Pretty much everywhere I look I see Meguiar's D156 express spray wax mentioned. I've got some arriving this week to try out.

I'm open to lsp but wanted

a sealant topped
with a wax and
then maintained with a spray


If a: “successful topping”...can be defined
by durability/longevity—whether real, or
perceived—I find that I have more success
whenever I top a Sealant with a Hybrid Wax.


•As such, (and in order of application), here
is a suggested course of action:

1.) Finishing Sealant:
Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0 (https://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-21-synthetic-sealant-2-0.html)

2.) Hybrid Finishing Wax:
Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Paste Wax is carnauba paste car wax with polymer additives for maximum longevity. Meguiars #26 High Tech Paste Car Wax is great (https://www.autogeek.net/meg26hitpasw.html)

3.) Spray ‘n’ Wipe:
Meguiars Synthetic X-press Spray Wax, X-press car wax, Meguiars X-press spray liquid wax, D156 (https://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-xpress-spray-wax.html)

Lucky, I see your other thread where you’re still deciding on future LSP. If you’re sticking with Blackfire, Carnauba Spray is another good option. For the price of that or Blackfire Synthetic Spray at 32oz, they are both good if you’re not comitted to buying a gallon of something. If you do end up getting BlackIce as your final topper, I personally think the Synthetic Spray is amazing on it, for black.

You could get McKees 37 N-914 rinseless wash and dilute to a waterless wash strength. And maybe Poorboy's Spray and Wipe would work too. This ones does not leave anything behind just to help with the wipe down after wash or as drying aid.

Poorboy's Spray & Wipe Waterless Wash: Just spray and wipe away dirt and grime with this quick cleaner! qed, poorboys waterless wipe, poorboys quick (https://www.autogeek.net/pbsaw16.html)

A spraywax that is in the family of your LSP would be a great choice too. Then you have car soaps that are sun friendly and McKees 37 sio2 auto wash. This is more for ceramic coated cars. But think others knows if there is an other car soap with water softerner in it.

My favorite wipe down product right now is Kenotek Showroom Shine. It works great in the sun, leaves the surface feeling really slick, and adds a nice bit of gloss.

If you are having water spotting issues from washing and drying your car in the sun... try adding some Optimum No-Rinse into your wash bucket. This will help with that.

A great drying aid to try would be Prima Hydro:
