Any quality carnauba based wax will work fine after 30 to 90 days of cure time. I usually wait the 90 day period but keep the car garaged as much as possible during that time. As for waxes Meguiars, Mothers, Zymol, Blitz Wax, are just a few. My personal favorite is Blitz Wax by One Grand. It's Zymol quality at about 1/3 the price. You can order direct at www.onegrand.com Just remember glazes establish gloss and reflectivity. Waxes usually only protect.

I prefer Mequires. For one reason, they have such a large selection
of stuff. Waxes, tire cleaners, polishers, cleaners, ect, ect.. Plus
there stuff is easy to find almost anywhere. And there stuff is all good
quality. But like the other guy said, go for the carnauba wax, not
matter what brand you buy. Gus
