Best wax I've used has been Swissvax,Pinnacle Souveran, and Zymol.

Here is what I do.

1. Wash
2. clay
3. wash again
4. Polish
5. Sealant/glaze
6. Wax
7. Wax 2nd coat

Good luck with whatever wax you choose.

Lordy, by the time I got done with all of that I would be wanting to trade again.

How long does that process take?

All day but I only do it every 6 months.

once a week I wash.
once a month 2 coats of wax.

Don't forget to have some old toothbrushes for around emblems and stuff.
And keep a good supply of Q-tips and rags.

You've never seen a car shine until you've used one of these waxes.
If you try one, you'll never go back to a retail outlex brand wax.

That's way more than I want to get involved with, too.

The clay bar is something I'd never heard of. Interesting.

Clay bar is a definite win! You'd be surprised how much grime comes off of an otherwise clean looking car.
