There are several geat waxes and polishes that are available online. OTC grade products are good for the average person, but when you go online and look for more boutique brands you get better products that are easier to use and give better results. Zaino, Pinnacle, Clearkote, Poorboy's, Klasse, Wolfgang, Menzerna, Four Star, P21S/S100 etc all offer much better products at reasonable prices.
I went out today bought an a Mr. Clean Autodry and NXT wax. What do you guys think of this combo on a new car? It was just delivered the other day, so it's time for its first wash!
I use the Mr. Clean Auto Dry system and it works beautifully. You won't get a big soapy lather, but it will clean your car very well and if you do small sections at a time with the spot free rinse, you won't get any water spots at all. Just make sure you do it in the shade.
As far as wax goes, anything by Turtle Wax or Meguires is proven to work just fine. The different types of these products are all just a matter of opinion.
