+1 for The Wax Shop. For store bought wax, that stuff isn't too bad. The "safe cut" swirl remover is excellent for polishing plastic headlights/taillights as well.

If you use a "wax safe" cleaner (i.e. not Dawn) it should last quite a while. You can't really say a wax lasts x amount of time...environmental factors such as acid rain, salt air, pollution, etc all screw up your wax job. I am going to throw a top coat of Z2 (Zaino) every month. It only takes about 45 minutes and looks fabu.

so is the Zaino polish supposed to be used in addition to a wax, or instead of wax?

I work for two paint manufactures and to get and keep a great shine you have to use a polish first to remove swirls etc. than follow by a good 100 percent carnuba wax to protect it. Don't forget to only use car wash soap to clean your car because others like dish soap will strip your wax off Good luck

Wax As You Dry, Those stuff suck big time compare to real Carnauba Wax. Mother's and Meguiars car care are pretty good.
I recommend the Clay bar package. You can get them at wal-mart cheap.
