I carry Poorboys,ClearKote,and Optimum. All 3 have awesome waxes. Are you looking for a carnuba? Spray wax? I also carry claybars. Let me know if you have any product questions. Check out www.obsessivedetail.com

I just went and picked up NXT tech wax today, i spent about 3 hours doing the stang and i was really happy with this wax. my paint was in very good shape to begin with but it needed a new wax, Im very happy with it!! the car just looks sick now!! I love that wet look
make sure if you get whatever wax you decide, get microfiber pads to apply your wax with and a terry cloth towel to wipe it off,

Meguires gold class and NXT tech wax are Great,, I think The Gold class gives a slightly deeper wetter look, but the NXT last alot longer between coats. I do GOLD CLASS FIRST< TEN GO BACK OVER WITH NXT_I use an obital 10 inch buffer)_ JUST AWESOME NOT TOO PRICEY.
My wifes 2001 sport trac has been out side its entire life-6years( the 5 she's had it and the year it sat in dealer inventory.) It is black and looks awesome because it has been protected with Meguires. I won't use anything else

Here is picture of my car after a second coat of Zaino's Z5 for light scratches. After the first coat, the shine was good but there were still some surface scratches, after the second coat most of those went away. I like the results.
Just a pitch for Justin, I have seen his work and Poorboys works well too, if I had heard of Poorboys before I heard of Zainos I probably would have gone with the Poorboys. Either way you go you will not be disappointed.

RE: what wax to use
I waxed my new car for the first time this past weekend, and want to comment that I'm happy with the Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax. Thanks for directing me to it. I bought the liquid version and waxed it late Sunday. I didn't notice the swirls I left behind till Monday AM. So, I called Meguiar's 800 number from work and they said it sounds like I may have over applied the product or didn't give it enough dry time, but that no damage was done. In any case the solution was fairly simple. I had to just rewash the car - in this case it took 2x when I got home. Now, it looks AWESOME!!! (I also used microfiber pads as described in this thread too.) In fact, not only is the shine top notch, but the bonus is that although it rained today, I emerged with very few water spots on my Vista Blue, far less water spots then the previous wax job on the car from the dealer when I purchased it.
