Adam's guard and gloss or optimum spray wax?

I'm about to run out of P21S carnuba paste wax and I was looking for something that is going to be a bit less time consuming. I currently use PowerLock every 6 months and wax once a month.

I've been wanting to try something that I spray on as I dry the car. The Adams product isn't a wax, but is a spray on application. Optimum is a spray wax, but I don't think the directions say to spray it on while drying the car.

I'm also open to other products. I plan in it being a once a month application. Thanks in advance.

I use Griot's spray on wax. The more I use it the more I like it. It's sprayed on before drying. BTW BMWCCA members get a discount on Griot's liquid products.

Meguiar's D156 spray wax. Great when used as a drying aid. It will make your LSP last much longer.

I also use Griots. Nothing to compare it to directly, but it seems to work well - I'm still getting good water-beading and last full seal/wax was in late December (insert shame emoticon here - but driving time usually wins out over detail time). Water blade helps a lot, so I can do the whole car with just one main towel. Also, I found out that it works just as well if you dilute it with distilled water (I got too close to the end of a bottle and thought I'd try it this way, since you are spraying it onto wet surface anyway).
