I use meguiars car wax, starting with its paint system cleaner, cleaner wax and finishing off with the gold class. It works great, luv it
using clay bar is great to remove all the tar and bugs

I've used "Blitz Wax" for the past few years on my Audi's, and have been very happy with the quality, price, and how long it lasts. It's made by One Grand, and is available at many online resellers.

Blitz is on par with the more expensive P21S products... lasts almost as long, and is not as expensive. After years of trying many different waxes, I've settled on the Blitz wax, and have already put a coat of it on the Liftback ;)

Meguiars and Mothers Gold are good... not the best, but readily available.

I prefer Duragloss 105 topped with DG AW after it cures properly. And since I don't have swirls or serious scratches, theres no need for polishing yet.

Hello, I would recommend, although not cheap, AUTOGLYM High Definition wax. This wax contains polymers, Carnauba wax and microcrystalline wax, gives an amazing shine and excellent protection against road salt, detergents, UV light, acid rain and fallout. I have been in the auto reconditioning business for 13 years.

I got some Black Magic Wet Shine liquid wax and tried to apply it late this afternoon. I am not sure if I used to much (I tried not to because of the recommendations in this thread) or that it was just too humid outside; but I had a heck of a time buffing it off! I am still not sure if I got it all off as it was getting dark and the moisture was starting to form on the top of the car. I may just put it in the garage tomorrow and see if I got it all off.

So far I am not all that impressed, maybe once I see the car in the daylight it will change my mind. I had to hunt the stuff down and despite it not being very expensive ($5.95 or something like that), I would almost prefer the old-style wax that dries and is easier to buff off. But I will postpone a final judgment until I see the car tomorrow.

Cheers! M2
