Default Which wax?

Which wax are you guys using on your blue cars, I have been using the blackfire wax which gives a great wet look but fancy a change. Any suggestions? Pics?

Desire has had great feedback. Are you going to use that over blackfire polish?

My new favourite is Wolfgang Fuzion Concours.

Great flake pop with a very wet glossy look.

Nothing at all in that picture mate. That was 1 coat of the wax with no sealant.

I've also got this lot to try from Wolfgang which should add even more to the finish.

I get on very well indeed with this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3705700684...84.m1423.l2649

It won a recent AutoExpress test, beating Autoglym's HD wax which costs three times as much.

You can't admit to using it though, as it's not made in a shed on a desolate moor by wizened artisans from bits of twig and badgers....

R222 that's a fantastic wax .results are same as expensive wax many more times its price. Easy on easy off, durability not best but for 2-3 weeks good beading .
Also even better with a base coat of auto finesse 3 in 1 sealant. Or car lack nano 68.

Since my previous post (number 12, above), I've now gone over to this:

http://www.armorall.eu/uk/news/item/...shed-performer

which is easier to apply and works even better (same discalimer about twigs and badgers applies though).
