Spray Wax - Good or Bad?

In theory, it seems like a good idea...Spray the wax, wipe it around, buff it off. I don't know anyone who uses it, so I don't know if there are any long term concerns or if it's really a good idea at all. Is it logical that since carnuba wax can be provided in a paste form and a "lotion" form, that it could also be provided in a spray liquid form? Searching through the forum posts, I don't turn up much dialogue on the subject.

So...Any thoughts or opinions? If positive, any recommendations on product?

Thanks.

Meguiar's new spray wax gets excellent reviews, but you can't use it as the only wax for it to look great. For example, you wash your car, wax with S100 carnauba or something and next week wash again. Then you can use the spray wax to sort of refresh what wax you already have on there. Used that way its great. But on the other hand, it really isn't worth the effort. It isn't like a quick detailer where you spray and wipe off. You need to spray it on the applicator, then spray it on the car, apply it all over the car, let it haze, then buff off.

Has any one tried the Wax as your dry from eagle one? It seems pretty cool because it goes on while the car is still we there for you avoid the risk of getting swirl marks from rubbing dry paint.

did you even read my post?

yeah it gives a decent shine, but i'd recommend getting a real wax job and use that eagle one stuff in between waxings to help maintain the shine.

Thanks for the feedback. Well...If the general concensus is that it's a good "refresh"...I guess I'd rather throw on a good wax every one or two months. My max looks great even when it hasn't had any wax for a few months. There doesn't seem to be any reason to spray it on if I can do a better job for the little extra effort.

Thanks again.
