    For leaving stuff behind: DG Aquawax, Meg’s D156, Mckees Trademark Extender Spray, Wolfgang Fuzion Spray wax. Favorite of those depends on LSP and what I want the paint to look like.

    For QDs: Crystal Mist, Mckees High Gloss Detail Spray

    I have 2 that I really like. For coated vehicles I use a 32oz bottle with 2oz of Reload and 2oz of Ech2o, fill the rest with distilled water. For non-coated vehicles I use Wolfgang Uber Rinseless diluted 3oz/gallon and it works great.

    Another vote for Ech2O, although I haven't tried mixing in Reload. It's great all by itself at 1:20 ratio.

    I also like Kenoteck Showroom Shine and Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax depending on what is on the car and whether I feel like using a QD spray or a spray wax.

    I think you'll get a lot of different answers here! For me it's Uber rinseless @ 3 oz/gal

    I get 2 gallons out of this method. Mc Kees Rinse free wash and wax diluted for a drying aid. Results are amazing.

    Hello,

    Is it ok to keep using these waxes after every wash? Since they leave something behind isn’t their a chance of to much buildup?

    Aquawax and Fuzion Spray, yes those could build up and should only be used every 2-3 weeks. Meg’s D156 and Trademark can be used often without any touted buildup (every week or two).

    The QDs can obviously be used as often as you like. A good method is using a spray wax every 2-3 weeks and using the QD or Rinseless/waterless solution all wash weeks inbetween.
