In your opinion what is the best wax?

I use BugSlide cleaner inbetween washes. All you do is spray it on and buff it out. It cleans and waxes and works. I originally bought it for my Harley so that I could keep her clean on trips; since it can be used on almost any surface i started using it on my truck especially the front end.

Your wax choice kind of depends on your waxing preferences:
Carnuba (natural) Waxes give a great deep shine, but don't last a long time. Figure reapplication quarterly.
Synthetic Sealants (polymer waxes) last a year. Klasse makes this a point with their product.
Best result seems to be clay bar>polish>sealant>carnuba wax, if you have the time and inclination.

Best bang for the buck (and time) is probably good ol Turtle Wax.

This might give the best results, but you need to know proper technique. The clay bar can be really damaging if used incorrectly. I do like the combo of everything else though.

Just used McGuire's NXT 2.0 followed up by High Tech Yellow Wax (Carnuba). These newer products are sure easy to use.
The Polymer Sealant made it look shiny, but the paint lacked that smooth deep appearance that the coat of Yellow Wax gave it.
