For me I like Collinite 476s for the winter months although it's not the easiest to apply. For all the other months Britemax Vantage, SO easy to apply and leaves behind an amazing finish.

Collinite 476 for me but got AG HD wax now as well, which seems decent so far.
HD Wax is pretty good and lasts for quite a while. I however do not think it's worth the price AG Charge.

For a start, it goes on really easily (and you hardly need any on the sponge at all, I bet a teaspoon full would do a couple of panels) and doesn't create dust as so many other polishes and waxes do. Secondly, if you have perhaps gently tcut an area for whatever reason, the NXT removes any residual tcut really easily.. I have in the past had to gently tcut a mark and tried to then apply HD wax to the area and you could still see quite clearly where the are that had been cut was.. Only the NXT would shift it and restore the deep wet look shine, but then the area was a deeper shine than the HD wax.. So the whole car had to be done with the meguiars NXT again..
So if you want a wax to protect, a product like Autoglym HD wax is great, great finish and longevity on the car. But in the show arena, on my metallic blue paint, nothing can compare to Meguiars NXT and if anyone anywhere can find me a product that gives a deeper shine than this stuff, I will buy it and buy them a beer!

If yours has been resprayed with a clear coat then I prefer a glaze such as Poorbouys Blackhole with Collinite over the top again.
For my car if it's in a show, I just use Meguiars #7 show glaze, with nothing on top , it is a nightmare to put on unless you know how and first sign of rain and it disappears, but the shine on my Mars Red is awesome.
Here it is wearing thus earlier in year

If I do use a wax on my other cars then current favourite is Britemax Vantage.
