lol... take a look at past messages in this thread and you'll get lots of ideas of what might be better. Kind of like asking what car is better. 
If it works for you, then keep using it. I'm extremely happy with what I'm doing.

Spray on waxes...

Anyone know of a "decent" spray on wax?
I don't have the time (wife & kids) like I had several years ago to spend washing/waxing.
Any info would be great

A spray-on wax will never give you the protection you need. You may want to look at paint sealants because you won't have to put them on every three months like regular wax.
I use a spray-on wax from Griot's Garage after I wash my car. It only adds up to a few extra minutes because you can put it on when the car is damp.

Yeah - I know nothing beats the paste/liquid wax that takes time, & a few aspirin when waxing your auto...Just that I really don't have the time; thanks for your reply - I'll look into Griot's Garage

I wash and wax my car in 1/3 sections. It's not so much work/time and I can put 2 coats of wax on each 1/3. A second coat of wax really seems to deepen the luster.

Just over a month ago I purchased Eagle-1 "Wax-as-you-Dry" spray-on wax; took approx. 1 hr 15 min to my 2007 Edge...Must say is leaves a pretty good shine, & appears to leave a decent layer of protection on the paint...For what it's worth Consumer Reports rated it the highest of the spray-on waxes.

I use Eagle 1 as well, nice shine and very easy and quick to use. One hour and fifteen minutes is a bit long. I haven't timed myself, but it probasbly takes 20 minutes to wax as I dry my Mazda MPV minivan. Probably a good idea to use a regular wax before the cold winter days set in and you aren't able to wash as often.

I tend to go heavy on the spraying, & need to buff after I wipe it onto the finish...That's why it takes me quite some time...Still does a good job

Thanks. I tow a little rig bass boat with my V6 Accord so I've got more bug strikes/tar than most. I put 2 coats on in the fall and again in early spring when it's pleasant outside. Then on intervening washes I replace the wax on the front about once a month.

Black Magic

Although I'm a Zaino fan for my Abyss Blue Acura TL, I tried Black Magic on the Evil Wife's Quite White (made that up...) Lexus RX300. Very nice, bright shine. I just applied the winter coat about 3+ months after the summer coat, it still looked good.
