Have you tried Bilt Hamber? The car wash is staggeringly good, the clay bar also impressive and the wax, well if you're after a glossy showroom finish.

I've been very impressed with their products.

I've got a holiday sample pot (56.5g) of ZYMOL concours if your interested, from past experience ZYMOL usually gives around 5-6 months protection.

The sample pot details are in the link;

Being a fan of value waxes I really like the Soft 99 range, the Authentic Premium is their carnauba...bit hard to buff off but otherwise great. The others are easier off...great durability and looks.

I also have the Britemax Vantage which is decent and I hear very good things about the Autoglym HD.

Adams do two good waxes but I've only tried the cheaper Patriot wax.

I suppose it depends what you want to spend and what you want from it?...looks/durability?

Ease of use is preferable...don't mind about smell so much myself. Osnot sa summer or winter wax?.
