I got a friend who usually does the waxing for me but I enjoy detailing my vehicles and want to know what a good spray on and wipe off wax is. Was considering the Fukken brand that this forum seems to be fond of but is there any brands I can get at Autozone? Remember I do not want to buff this wax off but rather wipe it off with a terry or microfiber cloth. And I'm pretty new to waxing so any tips for a newb will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I know its not a spray on. But I use Black Magic Wet Shine, and to get the other out of the way

Black Magic Wheel, Black Magic Tire, Black Magic Inteior, Black Magic Window cleaner.

To get the dirt out of tires I use Castrol Cleanup spray then powerwash.

To make tires black black I used Forever Black Tire Gel.

To keep them clean or shiny I use Black Magic Tire Gel, or a pleathora of other products, such as Maguiars Tire shine, etc.

Dressings are no good if the product doesnt dry nearly instantly, as any dirt or debris will then stick to it. Those coatings won't survive logging roads, but can help keep some of the dirt and mud from getting embedded in the pores. In that case it's not about looking fly in the woods, but about prevention.

i swear by black magic tire gel...through rain...my tires stay glossed!!!

This. Its GREAT stuff just use it sparingly, just enough, or else it will splatter around when your tires start spinning!

Thats why you wait 15 to 20m before you drive.. Best advice for that do the rim/tires first than work on your interior/exterior by the time you get that done tires are dry, and no splatter...

Also I have heard that NxT spray on wax is good but also very costly around 15 to 20 bucks

After purchasing our second trailer last year, the dealer put me onto a product he recommended for the trailer, but I have used it on my vehicles and especially like how easily it wipes off with no dust or oily finish. The shine is brilliant and I apply to everything - as indicated on the labeling. It's not cheap, but I think it's worth the price. Protect All.
