Wax for McLaren

[SimonOcean]

For folks that clean and maintain the paintwork on their McLaren themselves, what wax do you use?

I was thinking about buying some Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 Paste

I believe this is supposed to be Meguiar's top end product.

Are there hugely diminishing returns (or zero additional returns) in going for premium branded waxes like Zymol, Definitive Wax (who seem to sponsor the McLaren life website) or Mitchell and King.

I don't mind paying a bit extra for a wax that is more effective at protecting the paintwork, throwing off rain and giving a nice shine, but I don't want to pay for a) marketing bullst, b) pretty glass tubs and wooden display containers with brass plaques, c) tropical Hawaiian island coconut, kiwi and sea breeze fragrance or d) extra metallic flakes suspended in the wax (yes really).

If it makes any difference, my Mc is metallic silver. Thanks for any constructive thoughts folks.

Great feedback guys. Thank you for all the constructive opinions shared.

I checked out detailing world before... While it is a great resource, some of the folks there are a bit evangelical about various voodoo wax products costing between 10-1000x the Meguiars cost that sound suspiciously like bullst that is probably not much better than the Meguiars product.

I was aware of these modern coatings and was thinking about getting my car fully detailed and treated with one of these at some point. Issue is the car is already in terrific shape, so at the moment I really only need to maintain the car. I been using foam pre wash, paint cleaner, occasionally light polish, clay bar and so far a mid-range Meguiars liquid wax. The Meguiars stuff has worked really well and is priced sensibly rather than being priced like a "Giffen good". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giffen_good).

Also I was interested in paint care that I can apply myself rather than pay some other guy to do.
