Default What is the latest and greatest wax you all are using?

I've been using meguir's NXT for the last few years with great results but I'm sure something better has come out recently. What are you using? Thanks.

I know I'll get some flak for this, but I use Turtle Wax Ice since it goes on and off with ease. I also daily my car and probably have to "touch up" more than weekend cruisers. For my garage queen, Zaino, although you can never go wrong with Chadwick's.

...and their detail spray works great too. Even smells good. It helps keep the bugs from sticking.

I have fallen in love with P21S products.

I have used a bunch of items over the years and this is the best one I have found so far. Close 2nd would be products from Gloss-It. Better than Meguiar's Professional, Zaino, Mother's in my opinion.

I have been using zaino z2 every month or two and Chadwick's for the weekly 'wash'/quick detail.

I want to try something new and will be using Adams Buttery wax every month or two and Meguiar's d11501 for the weekly 'wash'/detail

With all this love for Chadwick's, I'm thinking I'd like to give it a try. I see on their website they have a complete kit with pads, microfiber towels, etc. Is all that really necessary? I already have a lot of the basics, including a huge stack of microfiber.

I also use Turtle Wax Ice on my C5 and my other two vehicles. Been using it for years and it protects well and leaves a very good shine.
