I used Turtle Wax for awhile, then switched to liquid Gold Class. Turtle Wax (the emerald class stuff) wasn't bad, but I like the ease-of-use better with the Gold Class - it goes on a little bit easier, buffs off much easier, and holds a nice shine. Course, some of this might be because I went from a paste to a liquid..

A couple other tips:

-Use a clean applicator (foam or 100% cotton).

-You don't need much, just enough wax to lightly coat the surface. Only a thin layer will stay on the paint anyways, the rest is just extra buffing.

-Don't let the wax stay on too long, then it really becomes a chore, and it will leave uneven spots unless you were able to apply a VERY even coat. Do a quick buff when you can run a finger across it without streaking, then come back a few minutes later for a final polish.

-If your paint is really "tired," prepping it with paint polish first might be a good idea. It will take a couple rounds to get the gloss up, but it does help.

Good luck!
