What is your car wax of choice?

If you are going to do carnuba next try and find pure carnuba.
Most of them are cleaners. I used the McGuiers ultimate polish the other day on my truck. Pretty easy on and off. Very nice to work with.

That's what I have.  I went to autozone a couple of years ago and they had it miss marked on the shelf for $6.99/can.  I bought all 4 cans they had

How do you guys apply it?  I have a cheapo buffing machine that i have never used.  Doing it by hand on my full sized pick up might paralyze me for a few days.

You use that to spiff up the Diamond Lil?

Wax? Sealant is where it’s at now. I like jescar/menzerna for my sealant/polishing needs. It’s pricey but a little goes a long way with sealant. The cars I care about get 2-3 coats, my boat (which I love) gets 5. Goes quick when you use a power buffer.

 No wax for mine either.

Really nice stuff to work with. I bought a new truck and noticed the Pollen was really sticking to it. After a little research I realized that brand new vehicles do not come with any wax on them. I used the ultimate polish as I said it was super easy now when I pull out of the driveway the pollen all blows off driving down the road. I am thinking I will put another coat on in a month or so. Then about every six months after that.

Haven't done ceramic yet. Was going to on the new car, but even being brand new, it needs a full clay bar and polishing out all the water spots. Vinegar nor Babes boat bright will take the water spots off.
For wax, I typically use Turtle wax Ice or similar spray wax. Zero effort, no more than wiping down the car after washing it and it lasts for a couple months outside or during the rainy season. Cheap n easy, but not the best.
I did get a bottle of nano wax, spray wax. A lot of effort to remove the haze but it has lasted on the hood of my work truck for a few months and counting. Parked outside and driving over the pass a couple times a week. I've been using it on the wheels of all the vehicles mostly. Lasts longer against brake dust and road grime than spray wax. 
Basically unless I get an entire weekend to get the new car prepped for ceramic coat, I'll stick with easy wipe on wipe off.

Never used wax on a rig.  Looks like lots of work.

When the wife got the new hotrod I spent a good week reviewing and watching videos on all the new waxes and treatments.  Figured the technology surely had changed for the better since I had a rig I washed and waxed on a regular basis.  After a couple years I'd tried five of the top rated expensive super hyped brands/types.  And while some were down right amazing for the first week they all failed to compare to my old McGuires Carbanuba Gold Class paste in the long run.  Takes a bit longer to apply it right.  But for her prized possession it's a small price to pay, IMO.

I used the Carnuba this weekend on the truck. It does look great. Damn, this Tundra's a big truck! Remind me to get a buffer attachment for the next waxing.

The clay bar is awesome. I've used that on some, older vehicles that were neglected and what a difference that makes.

Every six months I wash off my protective coating of dried mud and bug guts.  Sparkles like a diamond for a couple days before the next protective layer begins to build.

Just like me. I take a shower every year weather I need it or not. Usually around the holidays.
