I'm a big fan of dodo juice at the moment for a soft wax. Like Collinite 925 marque elegance wax for a harder longer lasting wax, takes some effort to put on but it lasts for a long time.

If you like waxing your car regular then something like swissvax onyx is a lovely wax and a pleasure to apply,do it every month to keep it strong.

All the Swissvax stuff is good but way expensive for monthly use at Ł65 a tub,
You could go for the crystal rocks at Ł795 a tub!

Ads obsidian wax...very glossy wet look punches well above its weight for price point and gives the boutique waxes a run for their money

I would apply a wax by hand, I'm aware that some waxes and sealers can be applied by machine which is great if you have one.

If you want a cheaper solution for regular use ive been using Meguires Ultimate Liquid wax. Easy to apply buff up. does the job well on my 3 door.

I used dodo juice on my red twingo rs. Brought it up amazing, would highly recommend it!!

Also autoglym hd wax is very good. Expensive off the shelf but can be picked up quite cheap off the internet.

Im using kleers liquid wax on my focus and im not impressed with that at all, wont get it again when ive used it all
