Bit of advice needed. I thought I would give Dodo Juice wax a try. however, with so many different types on sale I don't know which to go for. I don't mind a bit of hard work and the car is a 2 year old meteor grey Porsche. Any advice would be gratefully accepted

Supernatural is a great wax and holds its head above well known waxes with a higher price tag.
Its definatly worth every penny.

One thing I will say though is with any wax the true look comes from the prep the car has received before the wax.
So if you can wash the car then clay the car to leave a ultra clean surface followed by Dodo Juice lime prime lite cleanser which will help the wax bond to the car and get maximum durability and then the car is ready for the wax.
Supernatural is on one of my customers 997T and is still showing signs 5 months on. (with a good wash technique and correct products)

Or if you want a cheaper but still good wax then something like Light Fantastic which is a soft wax and easy to use.

I use Diamond White on my silver A3 and its brilliant. Collinite lasts a bit longer for sure but the Dodo gives a nice look.

Top it up with red mist and its fantastic.

Seeing as Lime Prime Lite has been mentioned, how 'safe' is it on plastic/rubber trim i.e. if contact is made by accident? Stain?

ANY Dodo wax is perfectly suitable for a Meteor Grey Porsche.
Whichever one you go for, you won't have made a poor choice.
I'd also offer Lime Prime Lite is a better option for you at this point, but as I've not tried the clays, you'll want to make sure all bonded on contamination has been removed first - that, next to removing swirls/scratches , will make the biggest difference to the appearance of your car's paintwork.
For clays, I use and recommend exclusively the Bilt Hamber ones.
So if you head over to www.carnaubawaxshop.co.uk you'll be able to get both brands from the one reseller.
Whilst Supernatural is a good wax, I'd suggest you start out with the newly released Purple Haze Pro.
Don't forget to get an applicator pad too, and a few microfibers as well, for buffing off the LPL and PHP - the Fantastic Fur are very good cloths.

Lime Prime Lite will be fine on trim, indeed it may even make it nice and shiny biggrin

But don't do the same with Lime Prime regular as that *will* cause white marks.
