What's your budget
What are you looking for? Durability, Finish, Ease of use etc?

I tend to use Auto Finesse stuff.

If you do it right it's great, but cock it up and use to much it becomes a pig to get off.

A pot of wax cost me £25, and it's done my whole car 5 times, and a neighbours car twice and I still have a third left.

Just waxed the griff which collinte 915 marque d'elegance has long lasting durability and believe it is a hybrid wax
Excellent value as it doesn't have a fancy marketing tin,
I do use pinnacle sovereign for the better weather as it's just nice
And my Megane that has just had a dose of collinite 915 on Friday

I use a few different waxes. I've had different ones from collinite, dodo juice and auto finesse and seem to sell them after a couple of uses. However the ones I will not sell on are:

FK1000p is very good, the pot is huge and lasts for ages. It can also be used on wheels, exhausts etc and is about £22
Soft 99 Fusso is a really good wax and my current favorite. Sheets water brilliantly and lasts around 4-5 months before needing re application. Also fills well and helps to hide swirl marks. ~£25

Autoglym HD. Leaves a superb shine and lasts for a good few months. Is the most expensive of the 3 but can be bought at halfords. ~£45 halfords or ~£30 online

Bilt Hamber Finis is pretty good.

Once you have a decent finish a quick detailer spray after washing works wonders also. I like the Sonax Turbo and Meguairs Ultimate.

I've tried plenty of different waxes and sealants but recently tried Zaino, what a difference. I've now got that glassy, wet look I was after and it seems to get better the more you use it. I used alternate coats of Z2 and Z6 and top off with Z8, it may seem expensive to begin with but a little goes a long way - it really is 'less is more'.

I use 50/50 in the summer, Collinite 915 in the winter and seal the car next month with Jetseal 109 or Bilt Hamber Auto Balm.
