Yes. There's a wax made by Hertel (wax industry veteran) that is a spray-on. It's best for when you're in a rush and can't perform an iron hotwax.
It's called: Liquid Super HotSauce Ski Wax: contains 2 ounces of all temperature liquid spray on ski wax. This spray-on wax can be used in all temperature and weather conditions.

yes there are actually i have purchased a couple of waxes that you just rub on with a pad and let it sit for about 20 minutes and then u take a towel and rub off the excess. They are called rub on waxes one website i found that has them is http://snowboards-for-sale.com/recreational_snowboard_wax/ that should give you an idea of what you are looking for. Rub on wax is quick and easy and in my opinion works great.

there is a bunch of rub on wax that you can buy which are teflon which is the most expensive then you can just look at the more simple blue wax by swix just go to your local ski shop and ask for some rub on wax

If you go into your local board shop, or the gift shop on the mountain, tell them you want a rub on wax, and they will most likely have lots to choose from

any wax that's not hot wax (iron wax) is called quickwax. it comes in many forms. one is paste wax. it is in the form of a paste and you apply it by simply rubbing it on the base of your board with the included applicator. dakine makes afterburner paste wax that works well. then there's liquid teflon, which is really not wax at all. it is applied identically to paste wax, and is called zardos notwax. then there's rub on wax. this looks like hot wax but its not, and the package will say so. you apply this by rubbing on your base and applying pressure as you do so.
i always prefer to hot wax my board, because it works better and lasts longer, but when i do use quickwax i use dakine afterburner paste wax.
