I've used Zymol and Nu Finish and had really good results with both. You probably will have to take out a loan for the Zymol- it's expensive, but the best as far as I'm concerned. The Nu Finish (PASTE) is a close 2nd.

I think I've tried just about every brand of wax out there.

This weekend I used Zaino for the first time. Zaino is the best stuff I've ever used, hands down. It has incredible shine that gets better every time you add another layer.

One of the best things about it is it doesn't leave any of that nasty powder behind.

i use meguires, it leaves an awesome shine! - but it attracts dust big time (just like most other waxes) - i am very tempted to try zaino wax next time, i have heard that it doesnt attract dust as much as its competitors.

I've used a ton of them and I think most waxes produce just about the same end product. Just make sure it is clear-coat safe (which 99% of them are now). Zaino, Zymol, Mothers, Meguiars, Nu Finish, Turtle Wax, and Eagle One just to name a few. But I am partially biased towards Mothers Carnuba Wax.

I use meguiars gold class liquid wax. It's the best i've come across so far. It's very very reflective, gives the car a nice gloss, and it feels like glass.

I've used Zymol cleaner wax and Meguiars gold class liquid wax. They both worked fairly well. Recently I purchased some of Meguiars professional cleaners, polishes & waxes (tan bottles). It's really not that expensive, but unfortunately it's been raining and haven't had a chance to use all of them. I'll get back to you when I have some feedback and before and after pictures.
