Cool Which Wax?

Just wondering if/when you wax your car/s, what wax do you use?
Do you use a buffer?
Special cloth?
Use polish aswell?
etc.

I found a wax that works wonders, best stuff ive used ever and was only 3 bucks (discounted because discontinued?)
Now i cant find it anywhere

this is the stuff



here is the results from using it, one coat, done right after a normal wash (hose water with wet rag, wipe, then wash again, then dry with shammy (pig skin?)
my cars paint get oxidized fast from our constant hot weather (mostly just the top parts) and this wax takes it all away
remember, only one coat, done without a buffer (hand wax on with a rag, hand wax off with a bath towel)
Here is the roof, right part is waxed, left part is not

same just closer

here is a direct view from above to see how much of a difference it really is, left is wax, right not





here is the hood, left of the 'scoop' is waxed, and half of the bottom by the emblem is waxed


here shows the difference from the left side of hood, to the scoop non-waxed part of hood



both sides of the hood waxed, middle has wax on it in the middle (on scoop)


half of wax on scoop gone





Entire hood waxed


Entire roof waxed


The paint is really a beautiful color, in this pic you can tell the metallic flakes in it and howit shines, after wax of course


there might be smirls here and there, but hey its only one coat, done with a simple bath towel to get it off, not that soft or new either'
So what do you guys think of the results? I LOVE IT





i first tried using this wax,(only a small part of roof then used my other $3 shit) it cost more, it is supposedly better...and it was crap imo, didnt shine as much and you have to use wayy more of it for a small area
