Default Which wax under 100

Just had the A45 done with Cquartz, and really wanted some pro advice on WAX.

My normal method is the following

Jet wash
Snow foam
Rinse
Two bucket method with lamb wool MIT for final clean.
Then I'd either use maguires quick detail for the quick shine, or gold class wax.

Now with my new coating I can keep doing the same but I fancy some better wax. I'm told yellow wax is cheaper than white carnauba, and Swiss vax is the best. If you have to buy some new wax for a red car, that's under 100 quid which would you get, should I get swissvax or look at chemical guys or poor boys.

Advise me please.

I'll prob wash it once a forthright with wax, so I'd like to build up a nice shield on the cquartz..

I also use snow wax, should I try using something else please,advise

Cheers

Is there really any need for a wax on top of cquartz? I used to use Vic's concours red on my red a3. it's a great looking wax, and applying it on top of cquartz means you won't have to worry about durability which is it's only down side for me.

As above Carpro reload is all you need. Designed exactly for the job

I was always told never use a jet wash on a car as it will take off any polish and wax that you have already spent good money on...

+1 Collinite 476s is best wax I've used very easy to apply and remove and lasts ages. 915 is also really good but slightly more expensive.

I would just use the Gtechniq C1.5 - Silo Seal to top up the Gtechniq C1 that's already been applied!!
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/sealan.../prod_845.html

Will be doing this when my new car arrives, hopefully no Waxing for me anymore, as the Gtechniq C1 gives a yearly protection anyway, ill just use the C1.5 silo seal as a top up for when I wash the car!!
