SprayOn wax is a wax as you dry product. this is what i used on my
commuters prior to Hydro. i still use it on my hobby cars. it's an excellent
product. plus, they have 8oz freebies often so once you buy their
36oz bottle, you'll just refill it with those freebies.

Here's the ad from Griots:

When used on a regular basis after each wash, you will be able to extend the life of your natural waxes and paint sealants. Apply it after you've washed your car, it can even be damp! Just spray on and wipe off as you're towel drying your car. What could be simpler? Even if you didn't get all the dirt off every single area, it has enough lubricants to pick those areas up in your towel and leave behind a deep gloss. Protect and enhance your paint with little or no additional work other than just drying your car! Spray-On Wax is a favorite of mine on cars and SUV's that I would like a great shine, but don't have the time to give a complete wax job. Speed Shine® should still be used between washes, but Spray-On Wax should be used after each wash. Now you can sleep at night knowing your paint is always protected with a minimum amount of work.

Totally agree. Maybe we should get out the old cans of green Turtle Wax paste next time.

I already invented wet wipes for interior detailing (although no one gives me any credit for it).

now back to further suggestions by others. i think im going to shutup now.
But why delete your great list?! If you don't want to post it, at least PM me with it! You had lots of good ideas and now they have vanished.

Just because I didn't feel it was right for me to respond specifically to them in this post doesn't mean they weren't great ideas!

you can use SprayOn wax over synthetics.

actually i noted that SprayOn wax was a wax as you dry carnauba based many times...

I also need to find a wheel brush. Narrow, long and very bendable. No exposed metal and semi-soft bristles.
Meguiars had one that was kind of OK, but the brush pulled out of the handle very easily and it was not as bendable as I would have liked.
