I have tried a bunch over the years; zymol, eagle 1, armor all, zaino, rejex, Colinite, and black fire. Colinite 845 looks great on my white f150 and a little goes a long way. Easy on any off long as you put it on thin & not in direct sunlight. I use the blackfire on my silver vette. To date these 2 are my favorite wax/sealants. I get a lot of compliments on both.

Have you tried this white specific wax from Meguiar's? I don't have a white vehicle, but have always loved anything by Meguiar's.

I tend to use Collinite's #476 for the roof, and either 845 or 915 on the hood and doors

I'm always skeptical of wax claims but I ordered the Collinte 845 and it is impressive. Can't speak to the longevity but it goes on easy and actually made my 20 year old paint shine. It leaves a very slick surface, a bird already lab tested it for me.

Collinite 845 or Menzerna Powerlock or HD Poxy.
You could also try the duragloss 105/601 combo as its a great hybrid but has a super short shelf life (as in only make what you are going to use)

But the 845 you got is def a very durable wax.....i use the 476 on the roof b/c i dont car how the roof shines but i want something i only have to put on once a year, the rest of the truck gets a wax that's less durable but shines more...its a catch 22 with durability and shine

In reality paste waxes are a dying breed. I have about $2K worth of boutique waxes sitting in my wax case that will likely bloom before I get to use them. Sealants and coatings are king.
As for polishing I fell in love with HD Adapt but they have killed it off. I have a bottle of 3D AAT Finishing Polish to try soon. Its supposed to be the new run of adapt. I still have 2 quarts of adapt to work through though lol.

Collinite 845 all day long then. I use it on all my cars during the winter and cant say enough good about it. Hell I use it on my damn lawnmower to keep the deck clean and stuff.
