I used to use Meguiar's hi tech yellow wax but recently switched to KIT wax. It's alot easier to wipe off, and it lasts up to a year. The other wax couldn't do this.
i use meguiars nxt tech wax currently... and i'm thinking about trying the new eagle one nano wax ----- > http://eagleone.com/_products/3,2081616.asp

if you get s100 which is geared towards motorcycles, you can get it for under $20. s100 and p21s are exactly the same, trust me. you can pick up s100 wax at a local harley davidson dealer. I had my s100 wax since i bought my car in june and after 8 month still have 3/4 of the wax remainging. This is doing 1 application per month, this stuff lasts as long as it is not applied heavy. s1
Meguiars!!!! 3 stage wax kit........ IS GREAT.... Also I just got the CLay kit from Mothers!!! I did my hood and damN!!!!! worked so good... its nice and smooth now. It took away all the grainy feel and everything .

the can is small so it is hard to apply by pc (porter cable). what some ppl do is take a putty knife and apply to the pc's applicator pad. the only problem with that method is it wastes alot of product s100/p21s is so easy to use, you can apply it to the whole car and remove in under 15 minutes doing a good job by hand. thin coats and dont reapply to same area, i apply to one panel and then remove w/ microfiber. s100/p21S is so easy to use, i know of a few ppl who apply it every week.

Rep Power: 0 I use Meguiar's Medallion Premium Paint Protection. It gives a nice deep gloss, but it doesn't last too long. After a couple of washes, water no longer beads.
I'm going to try Klasse AIO and SG. This combo should last a few months.
I heard that the P21S wax is a good topper for the Klasse SG.

Did you clay and cleaned the paint before your waxed it?

Rep Power: 0 I clay my car when I start to feel the contaminants building up.
Then I use Meguiar's #9 Swirl Remover. Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner is used if "your paint is dull, or has deep swirls":
http://www.properautocare.com/megsno9swirr.html
Then I apply my wax.
I use a PC 7424 for the #9, and wax application.
I don't really see the necessity of this clay applicator pad, it looks
kinda nuts!:
http://www.properautocare.com/popadclap.html
I think it's good to use the clay by hand and clean it (fold it) often. It's
a new item, so maybe I shouldn't knock it till I try it!

Rep Power: 0 I use Mothers Pure Carnauba Wax... I want to use Meguiars Gold Class, but I want something which will stay around in the winter, which I have heard the Meguiars Gold class is a softer wax and won't stay around for a month, and in the winter months, I can't wax due to constant sub-zero temperatures. I'm planning on getting a better wax which has shinier compounds in it, but I would need to make sure it is compatible with my surface which has the Mothers wax already on it.
Don't waste your time and effort. Doesn't compare.
