Unless I missed it. They dont provide the list of all the waxes they tested. Not really good info.

Keep scrolling down. They even go into their wax testing process.

For fear of starting the Holy Wars of Auto Finish Protections …

I use Car Guys spray-on once a month. Works great. Supposed to last a lot longer but the climate I live in is unkind to any sort of protections.

It's the same with engine oil. People get very emotional on their choice.

LOL - exactly.

I am a combination of vain (really want my cars to look nice), lazy (I really hate doing proper waxes every 3 months), and cheap (won’t pay for ceramic coating, and last experience only lasted a year). Finding a spray-on that didn’t suck was life-changing for me.

I’ll be in my bunker while the Wax Wars begin.

List is a weird mix of outdated and no-name products. Have to assume it's either affiliate link farming or paid advertising.

Ceramic coatings (including spray "ceramics") are pretty much undisputed king at this point. Lots of good spray options out there. Turtle Wax surprisingly makes really excellent Hybrid Ceramic sprays that are pretty much idiot proof. I personally like Adam's spray graphene coating, which is outrageously durable (my daily driver is still beading strong from an application from 7 months ago).

I have used many of those in the past, but not a single one of those would I use today... Graphene, ceramic and other similar coatings have replaced them all for me.

I find shine armour to be pretty good. Lasted about 4 months the first time I did it. And about 6 months this last time.

This is good to hear as the adams graphene spray ceramic just came in and I was planning on putting this on the Rivian this weekend. Along with some hydro leather ceramic for the ocean coast seats.
