Which of these two products should I use and why...?
Discussion
Car care experts of PH - your assistance please.
I have a new(ish) 5-series in "Bluestone" that hasn't yet had any sort of wax/sealant/polish/protectant/whatever applied.
I have the two products pictured below, and some time tomorrow. I am an occasional car cleaner at best, and probably want something that will last rather than something that looks better but requires more frequent application or effort. Which of these should I use to treat my car and why?

You’re going to get a dozen answers all recommending different products on here. I could spend ages recommending Swiss Vax waxes or Bilt Hamber sealants. However, as you admit to being an occasional car cleaner, I would spent a decent amount of money, get your paint fully corrected and then have a ceramic coating applied.
Personally I prefer waxes and top-up hybrid sprays as I love cleaning my cars and keeping the paintwork in near-perfect condition. This means an annual machine polish and regular maintenance washes using all the standard methods (two buckets, wash mitts and plush microfibres etc). A ceramic coating makes things so much easier if you just want to wash your car quickly every so often and get it looking great again.
