Whatever wax you use on your other cars is fine. Nothing special here.

I used P21S on all my cars for years.

On my '04 Porsche I'm using Rejex. Check the plug site for details. Yeah, we have some of that too.

I think you'll be happy with and Carnauba based wax for you car, boat or anything else. It goes on easy and buffs to a nice clear shine. There are numerous brands that have Carnauba wax in them.

Awesome stuff. Synthetic wax vs. carnauba. Very thin liquid. Goes on very easily and buffs quickly. Does not have a "plasticky" look like Klasse AIO. In fact, very good depth and shine like a carnauba. Very long lasting...around 4-6 months on my former Cayenne Turbo...

Menzerna makes awesome products. FMJ is one of the best out there. I've used pratically everything on the market from Zaino to Klasse etc. The synthetics hold up much better than carnauba. One thing you might do is first put a synthetic coat on the car then apply a carnauba topper whenever you like, S100 is a good choice, gives you the best of both worlds.
Trust me this method works great.
Any detailing questions feel free to PM me. (I've spent considerable time and money detailing my cars, good therapy)
