Stick to the good stuff from the big companies that have tons of money to throw into R&D and provide quality products.

Why would you consider buying car maintenance products from a 21 year old Youtuber? What does creating time killing Youtube videos have to do with car wax?
Buy Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845 or Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze that have thousands of happy customers and be done with it.

Damn. How much is it?

And yeah, even getting something off the shelves like Meguiars or Mothers would give you results with a smaller hole in the wallet.

The cheapest thing that you can get is $17 bucks "on sale" and over $10 for shipping. So unless you buy in large quantities, you're going to be paying like 60% of the price of the actual product just on shipping.

Plenty of products under 25 that can protect your vehicle for 6 months.

I use P&S Ultra coat Paint Sealant. Lasts me all year (provided you regularly wash your car as needed).

Just pick a good sealant. Apply twice a year depending on washing. That provides the protection. Use virtually any glaze or wax with carnuaba for more of a shine. Lately I skip the wax and use Sonax polymer net shield as a sealant. Then I use Sonax spray on wax or detailer when needed. Water literally flys off the car. Car does not shine quite like a good glaze but it's good enough for my DD.

Meguiar's Color-X has yielded me great results. I use it as an "all in one step product".

Sonax PNS is an excellent sealant agreed. One thing and of course opinions are subjective however the only thing a glaze technically does is hide swirls, it does nothing to increase "shine". The only thing that creates shine if you want to call it that is machine polishing with a polish, and then some coatings increase gloss.
