Hey mate if want an easy wax solution TURTLE WAX CAR WASH AND WAX has carnuaba wax mixed into it if you want a nice clean ride in half an hour go for it it makes my car shine so much when I wash it I dont notice the difference from where I have waxed the car afterwards.
I am hooked.
Dear oh dear :doh: A 'wash and wax' car wash is not a substitute for an actual wax. The purpose of waxing a car is not so much to add 'shine'. That's more the purpose of polishing. Waxing is done to provide protection from the elements, fall out, bird poo etc... No wash and wax can provide that sort of protection no matter what the manufacturer claims.
There's no one best 'wax'. Each to their own. Meguiars Gold Class is a good product but I found it wasn't long lasting. I've also used Meguiars Carnauba Wax and found that it looked fantastic but after two washes there was nothing left of it.
If you want something long lasting then go for a 'sealant' rather than a wax. Sealants are man made whereas a wax comes from a plant.
Whatever you use, you can always use a spray wax straight after washing as a booster to add protection to your existing wax/sealant. At the moment I have Meguiars #26 Yellow wax which is actually part wax and part sealant. It comes in paste form and is good stuff but I thing I prefer the liquid form for ease of use.
You should consider something like this...
Car Care Products / Optimum / Exterior / Paint Sealant / Opti-Seal
I'm probably going to get me some of this over the xmas break. It's like a paint protection in a DIY bottle.
