I use Turtle Wax paste.  Seems to work just fine on my vehicles.  Granted neither of my 4-wheeled vehicles are fancy show cars ~

but Mother's and Meguiars both make good stuff.

If you really want it to shime, clay bar it first.

+1 on the clay bar. It's tedious as hell, but you'll be surprised how much soother and how much shit come off the surface.

+1 on the clay bar. those things are awesome. your paint feels like glass after your done.

I'm a zymol fan.

I'll use there clay bar (new one) about once a year, and wax it about twice a year (in spring, then before a show I drive to in September)

this stuff is great. only complaint is if your anywhere around bee's they will be very, very interested.  :o [laugh]

only thing I have a tough time getting off is sap (just a little bit of wd40, then re wax the area). but its much easier to remove with fresh wax on the car.
