Cleaner Wax + Water = Spray Wax???

Umm...just buy Surf City garage speed demon spray wax - pretty cheap, almost as good looking as spray souveran, and very easy to use.

I haven't used the Mother's wax you mention, but I'm pretty sure that won't be water soluble. The Carlack 68 should mix fine, although I would use the sealant, if I was going to do something like that.

Grabby- I wouldn't try it myself. To me (and hey, it's just IMO) this sounds like something goofy that somebody thought up just to sound like a... well, uhm...some people get a kick out of thinking up answers in search of questions.
Seems to me that it'd be an even less-optimal approach than using cleaner-wax (straight) at every wash :think: I'd expect to get more cleaning (though less uniform) and less protection than cleaner-waxes usually provide. I'd rather try it with a straight wax so the cleaners/etc. weren't a potential issue.
Some thoughts in case you do try it:
I'd be mighty careful about keeping such a mix well-shaken. And I sure wouldn't want it getting on/in places where I didn't want it; cleaner-waxes are notorious for leaving white residue and IME those residues can be quite tenacious.

Grabby said:How come CarLack would mix fine but not the Carnauba Cleaner Wax?
Because the Carlack products are water-based while carnauba waxes are generally solvent-based.

Got it one!
I think Grabby you might be a bit confused.
Mothers Cleanerwax is an AIO (all-in-one) It cleans and seals the paintwork.
The Carlack and Klasses products people mix with water NOT THE AIO (ALL IN ONE). Its the sealant part, the second phase of a two step procedure.
If you want a high quality spray wax, pinnacle souveran spray wax is your answer!

I wouldn't mix any cleaner "wax" with water. Cleaner waxes have abrasives and cleaning agents. It's pointless. There are products designed for this purpose- Mothers FX, AW, Z8.

So wait a minute. What should be mixed is the Carlack Pure Acrylic Sealant and not the AIO? I was just about to mix the AIO with water right now. I do have the one without the cleaners. I should mix that instead?
Got any thoughts on the dilution ratio?
