Better question is how much you want to spend?
How's stuff under $20? Stuff under $40? Stuff under $80? How about stuff over $100?

I like meguairs ultimate paste wax. Excellent water shedding, and very easy to apply. I also apply a quick coat of meguairs ultimate quick detailer while drying after a wash. A tin for a car our size should be enough for 4-5 total applications.

Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845 is nice stuff. About $1 an once. Anything more than that is wasting cash. Wax is sacrificial so there's no need to be crazy spending since you're going to be doing it a lot.
I do several coats of Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze, also about $1 an once, about every 6 months and then top it off regularly with the Collinite. Both of those have all positive reviews no matter where you look. |

Do a sealant first. Then a day or two later a nice carnauba was for shine. quick detailed after that when needed.

Chemical guys Extreme top coat works well. Then follow-up waxings with butter wet wax, detailer v07 for quick shine.

I've always used Meguiar's Carnauba and I've never been disappointed, unless I did it when it's cloudy and 40 degrees

I highly recommend Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish if you just want a quick sealant to provide some protection and beading. You can always top with something else it if you like.
Personally I like Soft99 Fuso Coat if you want a traditional paste wax but it only lasts ~3 months for me. |

I think the first two questions should be:
1) climate,condition, exposure to whatever elements 2) how often do you plan to reapply the "wax" job Then select the material to use. |
