I had good results from Dodo Juice Wax a couple of weeks ago

I used the Purple Haze variety, and found it to be excellent. Takes time to apply by hand, and remove...but the results ate outstanding.

For this weather look no further than collinite 476 wax. About £15 a tub and very durable and fantastic shine

Totally agree. Autoglym SRP first to clean the paintwork and Collinite is superb.

I have also been using Race Glaze which gives very good reults indeed.

collinite 915. Bought two tins from ebay.com seller for about £22 delivered. Really good results and is well known for its longetivity.

Pics of my nogaro S4 with it applied are in this forum.

Zymol and Swissol both very good waxes. I like the destiny from Zymol but the durability is not as good as the collinite i have found. But for the summer definatly the swissol or zymol leaves deeper finish

I can recomend Swissvax best of show esp on black paint ,not used any of the Zymol so couldn't comment, although i've been told they're very similar

After just one coat,

Have to agree the dodo juice products are superb. I have used the Rainforest rub on my noggy S4 and was very impressed. The longevity is pretty good also which his a bonus.

Here's a shot
