Used this spray and wipe product on my 2020 Expy Max this week. Slick and clean. Time will tell how long it beads water? I have liked nu-finish polish on my boats and cars for years, with great results in Florida sun and heat. But pushing 60 years old my wax on wax off hands are not what they used to be. So I tried this wife on wipe off, product. Hard to beat the results for $8 and only used 1/3 of the spray bottle. Not a paid advertisement , just wished to share.
Rapid Shine, by nu-Finish, I like it!

Haven/t used that brand but I've used some of the other "new" spray on, wipe off or even spray on and rinse off paint protectants.
Way easier on my arms/shoulders to use and I've noticed on the next wash the car comes clean (bugs, tar, dirt) so much easier/faster than with regular wax.

I did a cheaper ceramic coating from a detailer back in November and find waterless wash is just as nice looking after (no comparison to a really pricey professional ceramic job), beads really well and is super easy to keep clean in the garage so it gets “washed” maybe 2-3x per week. Super slick to the touch and a nice shine and since I can literally wash it in 3 minutes I do it often so it always looks good.
Yes, you can get a ceramic coating and buy better products like foam cannons but how often do you actually wash the car and how much time does that take?
I use Trinova Waterless Wash and Wax and it’s a steal IMO.

This wins hands down
I watch a video, after 7 washes with purple cleaner there still was some water beading.
But I can not find it anymore scince covid-19
I found information from this guy.
He is always testing new products

When the weather is ok I try to do a full wash once every couple weeks and then WW’s in between.
WW‘a are great and a total lifesaver to use between real washes but you won’t likely get off all of the contaminants that build up not to mention tires.

Yes, for those of us that might be OCD about keep their car clean (me) waterless washes are definitely a life saver to at least make it LOOK clean.

Yep. Agreed. In the winter it’s just impossible to keep it clean enough to do a WW most of the time. the garbage they put on the roads sticks like paint (god forbid the roads stay snow covered for more than an hour after a storm lol). I cheat A LOT in the winter. Many times I’ll bring it to a car wash (touch-less obviously) and then bring it home and do a one bucket “waterless” but use one towel per panel to minimize issues. Summer I do my best to hand wash, foam cannon, reload etc at least 2x a month.
I took a bottle of the Turtle Wax ceramic wash/wax stuff home back in the fall for a visit with my mom. Her Trail Blazer was sitting in the driveway and it was a rainy Saturday. I grabbed a bucket, sponge/rag and the Turtle Wax and headed out into the rain.
It was pretty dirty/nasty and I scrubbed it up while letting the rain wash away the suds/loose dirt. My brother came by and dragged a hose out there to help wash off the suds/dirt faster.
I finished up with the washing, dumped the bucket out, rinsed it out and went back in the house. The rain was beading up on the top/windows/hood before I finished the sides/front/back of it. The next morning when the sun came up it really shined.
Went home this weekend for another visit and mom told me she had been trying to get my brother to drive it to town and run through the car wash to get the winter road salt/crud off of it when they got a pretty good rain storm. She said it looked so good after the rain storm she didn't think it needed washing anymore.
I noticed, on a couple other cars of ours we've used it on that they wash up with a lot less elbow grease after getting a coat of the new "wax" on them. I'm not saying the Turtle Wax brand is better than anything else, just saying that's what I used on the Trail Blazer and the 435i X.
Good luck with which ever brand/type you use. The two brands I've used have worked well compared to regular car wax.
