Default What wax for underside

Hi I'm looking to wax the underside of my car what is the best wax and spray wax for the hard to reach places.
It's a show car and is painted underneath.
I basically want to protect it from the fear of rain going to and from shows many thanks.

A really good spray wax / quick detailer which provides much greater protection and water beading/sheeting ability than standard QDs and that you might want to check out is Britemax's #6 Spray & Shine, as it's got real carnauba wax in it. It's fine on the finishes typically under a show car and much faster than doing it the traditional way with a 'regular wax'.

I also own a concours car, painted underneath and I've owned and run detailing forums for 10 years so although I wouldn't claim to know everything, I do know a bit

A good quality sealant will out last your normal wax products or for the car in the picture personally with the investment and time you have put into the car I would apply Ceramics, costly but will save loads of time during the re cleaning process, I use Gtechniq products on every thing.
This is only my opinion and not trying to preach, but I look after so many show cars that have different products used, the ceramics are always much easier to keep kleen and always shine well.
