Default Recommended All in Ones or Waxes?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a good all in one wax/sealant or similar?

I dont drive the car much and it is usually garaged, but I want to make sure the paint is always nice and glossy (and protected).

-I plan to wash the car once a month or two, depending on how much I drive
-I would like the wax or similar product to last at least 3-4 months, which I cant imagine being too difficult, considering I am in southern california and the car is garaged.

I have heard that Meguiar's cleaner wax and Klasse all in ones are good products. I don't want to apply multiple products. Just a wash, one product, and ill follow up every so often with a quick detailer spray to clean and protect. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Appreciate your input!

I've tried a little of everything including most of the expensive, high-end detailer products. However, I've been using this for years, and I don't think anything is better in terms of ease of application, removal, zero residue, and longevity. For an all-in-one product, it fits the bill nicely.

I'm not sure that NXT is a AIO product, just a sealant really.

If the cars' really not being driven that much, spend a little time the first go around to really prep the surface well and then just keep it protected. No need to continually use a cleaner wax, AIO or the sort, just keep a few layers of sealant built up and you shouldn't have to redo the initial steps but maybe every few years at most.

I have not used Techwax in years, does it still buff off as a white powder? That was the only thing I didn't like about it.

Thank you all. Appreciate the input. There are so many products out there and everyone swears by them. I used to use Zaino and while it was great, it is very time consuming and expensive. I plan to do the following while the paint is still brand new.

-Power rinse
-Wash car with Meguiars Gold class
-Power rinse
-Apply Meguiar's NXT
-Use Meguiars Quik Detailer as needed

-Once a year or two get the car detailed by a professional

NXT tech wax is the only thing I'll use. Been exclusively relying on it for years. Why? Because it's fast and easy. That means I'll actually bother to do it! (Not kidding, I'd procrastinate for months if I knew it would take forever to wax the car.)

Not a bad reason at all. I used to use Zaino which was an all day affair, but no longer have time. If I had to use it now, i would probably do a really half assed job and it would look pretty poor. Id rather have a good product which is easy to use which I can apply without too much time and with minimal hassle.

There is no powder residue on the 2.0 NXT.

Exactly, which is what the OP asked for and why I made the recommendation.

Optimum Poli-Seal is my go-to. It cleans and protects (does a great job removing cone rash after autocross, for example) and can be applied by hand or machine (my preference).
