What wax/polish for a black car?

[phil1979]

My bella needs a bit of a spruce up in the paint department. It's a black estate, so I dare say it will take a bit of wax to do the whole thing.

I'm not doing any fancy cleaning routine beforehand - just a good wash and drying off.

My criteria:

- No more than 15 quid
- Easy to apply, and easy to clean off, without having to wait hours to complete the process; I just want to apply it, and get rubbing (so to speak)
- I want to avoid load of white powder as a result(like the good old MER days)
- Minimal swirling etc

At my disposal:

- 2 hands
- Soft polishing cloths (the cut to length jobs)
- An old t-shirt

Ideally, as I have a Halfords voucher to hand, I want to get it from there.

Ideas?

Thanks folks. However, bar the runner-up option of Meguairs, we're still struggling for a Halfords-availble option. Definitely looking for a one-stage option as well, with just the one bottle required for the whole job.

Come on PH... you've never let me down to date!

Thanks. Will have a gander on the way home tonight.
