Can you over wax?
I have a black LS460...inbetween washing I take the California Duster and clean it off. Then apply a spay on wax. Is waxing your car too much bad for the paint?...is there a build up that will dull the shine.
Also, what's the difference between a spay on quicky wax and an instant detailer? I see Maguires sells both. Thanks for your help.

Instant detailers are suppose to be a quick way to wipe off dust without having a car wash. Quick wax are just that. Wax in a bottle that you can wipe on easily and remove easily.
Although it probably wont harm your paint, waxing too much is a waste. You get to the point of diminishing return because your paint can only hold so much product before it gets wiped off after you apply.

I wouldnt use a spray wax in place of a paste or liquid wax though. Use the spray wax as a touch up only. Personally I only use quick detailers after I wash the car to give it a fresh shine. I wax pretty often, maybe too much, but I enjoy it and the car looks great. I dont use the spray waxes as I didnt find the results to be worth it.

A spray wax/sealant can indeed replace a traditional paste wax. I've gotten great results and increased durability with a spray wax such as Jeff Werkstatt's AJT. It certainly lasted longer than any carnauba I've used in the past.

x3 on the AJT. However, I disagree on the durability of spray on wax. I can't speak from personal experience about most (although I have heard from many trusted sources that most only last a few days) I do know from personal experience that Optimum Car Wax has given me 3-4 weeks durability on a daily driver.
The Werkstatt AJT is good for at least 3 months for me.
Of course everyone's mileage will vary depending upon prep, enviromental factors, wash routine, etc.
