Default Waxes/sealants you can just spray on?

I want to wax/seal my car but don't have alot of time.

Rookie question: Are there any waxes or sealents out there that you can essentially just spray on without having to spend alot of time wiping them off, and that are quality? Its been years since I waxed a car so I have no clue if you still have to go through the whole wax the car, then go back over and remove the wax type deal.

Thanks for help on the newb question!

We offer two types of these products, let me try and explain both below:

Wipe On and Walk Away Sealant --- this is a new breed of sealants. You still apply them with an applicator placing a very light and fine coating on paint. You then allow about 10-15 minutes and they essentially disappear. The fully cure in less than 24 hours. If you get some minor streaking its because of over application, and removed quickly with a damp towel or detail spray. You actually use very little and bottle lasts a couple years.
Ex: Optimum Optiseal or Ultima Paint Protection

Spray Wax Products --- these products are more like a quick detailer with some protection features. They likely dont last as long as a traditional wax or sealant but so darn easy to use you can use them in less than 10 minutes whenever wanted. Most use them while car is still damp, and sprayed prior to or during drying phase. These are also booster products and can be used more frequently to spread out the traditional time needed for detailing sessions.
Ex: Four Star Spray Wax, Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax, Griots Spray Wax, Poorboys QD+, Duragloss Aquawax, Megs Ultimate Spray Wax, NXT Spray Wax

Spray Sealant
Optimum Opti-Seal is probably the most durable option I've used. Simply spray it on buff it in a circular motion so it's nice and thin and then you are done. It dries clear so you don't have to remove anything. Best of all the protection from this spray on sealant is far beyond just about any other product I've tested.

Another option is the Blackfire Deep Gloss Spray w/Polycharger. I think this product has a deeper gloss to it but probably just a little less protection. Both are great products though and you can't go wrong either way.

Spray Wax
Optimum Car Wax is a great option for spray on protection. Just spray it on and buff it around nice and thin. Give it at least a few minutes and then buff off the excess residue with a clean microfiber towel. It leaves a great shine and added protection.

If you have any questions about these products please let me know.
