spray wax

Mist-on car polish

Spray wax is a liquid wax product applied from an aerosol can or spray bottle, used to add shine and protection to surfaces—typically car exteriors or floors.

It offers a quicker, lighter application than traditional paste wax: I hit the car with spray wax after washing it.

The finish is less durable but more convenient for maintenance between full waxings.
