Are "wax as you dry" products good?

Hello! I was wondering if these products are recommended. I'm pretty lazy when it comes it waxing. I get impatient can get pretty tired after waxing for an hour.. So has anyone used a "wax as you dry" product? I know it's probably not a top notch way of waxing, but does it provide some protection if I use it about once a month?

Any recommendations? Thanks!

It provides minimal protection. It works good as something to maintain a already waxed finish. As a primary wax though, spend some time and do it right.

I use Meguiars. Its prett decent. lasts about a week or two, but I have about 800 coats of it on my car by now. So I can go a month or two without it and still have a shinier car than most people. but its definately not top notch. The Meguiars NXT stuff is much better. I love that. I did my car, engine, engine bay, everything with it, sooo shiny.

If your lazy, just use the NXT speed detailer after you wash and dry. Its a fine coat of wax that will add shine. If your looking for protection then you just need to get some regular wax for it.

Works nice for car shows and events where you need a quick shine, but it is definitely not a substitute for real wax
