I'm a bit confused as i'm new to using wax. To my understanding...wax is basically a protective layer over your paint that will keep a shine for potentially weeks or longer.

Now I go to look for waxes and theres so many -types- of waxes from the same brands i'm hoping someone can tell me what's a basic normal protective wax.

Example: http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/

There's a bunch so I won't list them all but there's gold class carnauba plus liquid wax, nxt generation spray wax, white wax, black wax, ultimate wash and wax anywhere, gold class premium quik wax, cleaner wax-liquid...and as you can see plenty more products listed as "wax."

What i'm asking is which of these products is just a "normal" wax? For dummies I guess you could say...?
