Your favourite car wax?

For a glaze I find that on old original paint you can't beat Meguiars #7 Show Glaze, I don't normally bother topping it off with a wax as don't need durability.  It must be on old single stage paint though - not spectacular on modern paints, where I would agree with Walt that Poorbouys Blackhole/white diamond takes some beating.

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

Do you use the white diamond on yours then Richard?

I recently bought a B6 passat in shadow blue metallic. I decided to try another poorboys product in addition to the black hole glaze. It is called Natty's blue paste wax and I bought it because for my daily driver I want the protection of a wax. My worry was that the black hole gives such a perfect finish that a wax may detract from that. I can confirm that not only does it go on and off so easily, but it also gives an amazing shine and two months later was still beading off. When reading topics like this, you normally get a list of people saying I use this wax or polish etc but without any direct comparison. So let me take autoglym HD wax as a product most people would see as a good wax and then say that this Natty's blue paste wax from poorboys beats it hands down for me. The HD wax is harder and so will no doubt last longer on the car. Whereas the Natty's is a soft wax. But this makes it so easy to apply and buff off in comparison to the Autoglym HD that this alone would be enough to sway most people.. However… The Natty's blue paste wax is less than a third of the price of the autoglym and gives as good if not better finish.. Use it over the top of poorboys black hole and you will be very very impressed indeed.. I was .. and I am meticulous about these things.. Give it a whirl. It's hardly gonna break the bank and for light colours, use Natty's paste wax over white diamond for an equally amazing finish. I used them on my dad's silver skoda fabia and it looks ten times better than when he picked it up from the showroom.. Very very impressed..
