Scott Tenney, a career firefighter/paramedic has come up with a series of car care products named Element Armor. A couple of months ago he sent me some of "The Game Changer" which is a spray on/spray off vehicle wax.

When I give the jeep a wash, I can still tell it has wax on it because the water beads up.
