Probably silicon based vs wax based "wax".

Idea with both is to let water bead up and fall off the car, taking with it any dirt and such from the rain rather than sitting on the paint and eating thru it (acid rain).

Both are sacrificial - wears over time.

...

How long they last depends on your environment and car paint.

..

As for glossiness, which is totally separate from water beading, I still personally prefer Meguiars Gold Class liquid applied with a rotary buffer, hand buffed with a microfibre cloth.

For an average shine, this spray is fine on newer cars where the paint hasn't worn dull.

Rain-X products won't get within 20 feet of my vehicles.
They can stick to their shill silicone spray for windshields.

Also, this is using ceramic as a stretch.

Some people don't like Rain-X because they're incapable of proper buffing.

There are better water repellants out there (I prefer Aquapel myself), but there's nothing wrong with Rain-X and it's widely available.

50/50 mix of Vinegar & Water. All the stuff that beads on glass ruins it.

Question: Does anyone know what product is used when you go to a dealership and they clean your car? That seemed to be quick and shiny all over, including the tires. I doubt they spend much time on it.

The purpose of this product is the restore the slick feeling and water-beading effect of having applied a fresh coat of wax or sealant after washing - this product does not necessarily add shine or gloss, it merely adds a super thin layer of very temporary protection. And you have to really wipe off all the excess or else dirt will actually stick to your car even better

I tried Aquapel once. It definitely lasted longer than Rain X but did not repel water as well as Rain X. A freshly applied Rain X just flings water off better than freshly applied Aquapel.

I guess you're not technically getting it for free cuz you still have to pay the damn tax man his sales tax, unless of course you come from a state without it (Delaware, Oregon, etc.). But, that's nitpicking. Good deal!
Having done a hundred rebates before, I doubt this rebate company is going to customize the amount of each individual Rebate check. They normally will just send out $14.99 to everyone.

If you have B of A, you also might want to check for an Advance Auto Cashback offer.

It's fine as long as the car is washed and paint in decent condition.

If not,
Wash
Clay bar
Optional Polishing compound with rotary (depends on how much swirls and paint damage exists)
Buff
Car wax with rotary
Buff

...

A quick spray and microfiber wipe down of clean or bwaxed cars with Meguars Quick Detailer spray can boost the illusion of shine and gloss easily.

...

But for selling cars. A clean engine compartment, vacuumed under the seats and mats, etc can help.

...

If lazy?
Wash car - skip if not too dirty.

Then the secret?
https://cleantools.net/products/the-glosser
Wipe with the cleaner, lightly buff with microfiber.

Seriously good gloss and shine for a wipe!

This is what I'd do because of the easy nice gloss. I use it on my cars between a full wax.
I agree with the use of this type of product after the car has been washed, polished, and waxed. I use a detailer to knock the dust off and enhance the shine. Products like this are great for in between washes! I never used this one, however.

You're going to add the already high amount of people on SD bitching about not getting their rebates.
