fminus does a great job but a bit expensive, but if you have money to burm i think its all worth it, but don't do it this week though there's a good chance of rain over the week here's the thread for the one in costa mesa and fminus

which brand of wax is the best?
I use Meguiars. and there's those times I dont feel like doing it but I need it done so I get it handwashed and sometimes waxed at a detailer. youll see the big detailers using swissvax and a lot of people recommended zaino in the past.
