Zaino is the best by far...have used it on all my vehciles and makes the paint look like liquid, they even have a special polish for black to help fill in the swirl marks...ZAINO!

I use the Nufinish Polish in the orange bottle on a regular basis and it couldnt be easier on and off and it seems to protect pretty well.

If properly applied most all of them will !
Regardless of what product used,there should only be a light haze,over application of product always makes a mess.
Using a very wet applicator helps to thin the wax
Using the old swirling motion of applying wax IS NOT the correct way to apply wax.For those that do,look at your finish for proof positive

I tried that ICE product and wasn't impressed with the results on the body ,using it on the plastic(mirrors,bumper etc.) did a pretty good job

Mothers gave much better results over Meguirs when applied to the side doors respectively. Very clear difference in color was noted.The Meguirs seemed to add a blueish tint to the Slate finish while the Mothers added to the black contrast of the gray.Same was done on another Silver DC and the Mothers also appeared to enhance that color as well

I don't want to start an argument, but I spent a lot of money on Klasse and wound up throwing it all in the garbage, it is useless and very hard to work with.

There are some good opinions out there, but as far as i'm concerned, no wax will look good over a un-prepped paint surface. You need to clay to remove contaminates, and polish to remove swirls and such, then almost any wax/sealant will look good.

Me if you just wanted one product to work with, then i'd say something like Klasse All-In-One or Duragloss Marine Polish. Then top that with a spray sealant like Duragloss Aquawax.

If you wanted to get better results, go with Clay (any brand works fine), then a polish (by hand since you dont have a machine) Scratc-X or Duragloss 1#101, then a sealant. Duragloss #105 or Mothers Syn-Wax or Meguars NXT 2.0 works great.
