Spray Quick Wax …

Thanks man. Good info.

Sure thing. If you want to read up a little more on the Graphene I have a thread below on it. There's also some YouTube videos there which show you how to apply it step by step.

Now spray waxes have all the protection in them and take the place of the old paste waxes.

I would not totally agree with that. The vast majority of the old paste waxes had some abrasives in them that would remove the road film and oxides that builds up on the surface of your car. You certainly could buy pure Carnuba paste wax but if you followed the instructions you needed to polish the vehicle first to remove road film and oxides. The same goes with spray wax, you need to polish first.

Any of the Ceramic or Graphine coatings need to be put on after polishing the surface to get it clean and smooth.

I use Lucas Speed Wax which is a spray as a detailer on an otherwise clean and waxed car.

From his question : "Ok...... maybe off topic now.... but do the spray products have any protection?"

I was strictly taking protection. No one mentioned what the process was from start to finish and removing oxidation and road grime. Also READ where I linked my other thread where I talk about the step by step process for applying Graphene. I go into more detail there where is wasn't necessary to here for his question which was about protection only.

You do not need to polish if the surface is free of imperfections and/or oxidation. Just strip off the old wax, clay if needed and apply the Graphene. If there's scratches, oxidation or tar and grime obviously they need to be addressed before waxing.

My truck is free from oxidation and scratches so I use Optimum Paint Prep.

Optimum Paint Prep uses a combination of mild solvents to dissolve old wax, remove polishing and compounding oils, and leave behind a residue-free, squeaky clean surface. Use Optimum Paint Prep before applying Optimum Gloss Coat, or any paint coating, to promote maximized bonding and protection. Before paint protection comes paint cleaning!

Generally, before applying any type of surface protection, be it a wax, sealant, or semi-permanent coating, you want to get the paint shining and perfect. However, most compounds and polishes leave behind oils that can prevent your selected last step product from adhering fully and correctly. To be sure you get the best protection available, you must be sure your paint is fully prepped. And this is where Optimum Paint Prep comes in handy.

Optimum Paint Prep uses a combination of very mild solvents, nothing too harsh, just enough to remove all former waxes, polishes, compounds, or anything else that would prevent your LSP from bonding. Optimum Paint Prep does not contain any oils or surfactants and will leave no residue behind – simply a clean surface!

Because Optimum Paint Prep contains no oils or surfactants, it is perfectly safe to be used on any surface needing a quick clean. Be it exterior or interior, every dirty surface can be quickly cleaned using Optimum Paint Prep.
