Hello detailing gurus; all of my cars are Blue. Light Silver/Blue, Mid Blue, Dark Blue. What wax is best for these hues and will one type do them all?

Yes.
I've always said coloured waxes are extremely subtle (if at all) at best, and often wishful thinking, but Dodo Juice did an experiment on their white van, iirc.
After 3-4 layers you could see a hue from the waxes applied, so it may be something you'll want to Google and see for yourself.
Your Silver one will probably look best with a sealant, especially if it has a good bit of metallic flake in it.

Bottom line don't get fixated on it - the majority of what's out there from the various small manufacturers is more than decent product, and like a lot of things in life, is simply personal preference.

Nah, not fixated on the subject, but have read that certain waxes suit red cars, so I figured that I should use one that may best suit blue cars. I'm quite happy to use a clear one, after reading the thread links above.

i find Swissvax shield an excellent product without blowing the bank

its easy to apply and shine up and the results i'm confident will impress you in terms of both appearance and durability

for example http://www.pwpro.co.uk/cars/?portfolio=subaru-impr...

please don't forget that your finish is massively affected by your prep so be sure to both decontaminate and polish prior to application
