I've been very happy with P21S. It is higher in carnauba than most mass merchant waxes, but still very easy to apply for a paste wax. In fact, superior in that regard to many liquids. It also is cheaper and doesn't require as much work as some of the multi-product brands. I had used Meguiar Gold Class liquid on other cars and P21S gives a richer shine. I am planning to try Rejex for winter, since it lasts longer and quite a few people here rave about it.
In the end, it all comes down to what is important to you. Ease of application? Durability? Depth of shine? Protection? I probably will try a few of the favorites here before I eventually settle on one that I like. But I actually like washing my car and don't hate waxing it.
Didn't help a bit, did I?

Hi, I gotta agree with Quad M - Zaino is awesome. I've used Meguirs, & Mothers in the past but I recently purchased Zaino. It is a very deep, deep color with a very wet look. I've gotten compliments about my deep color from people that didn't know that I switched waxes.
Try experimenting with it.

Zaino Z5 Pro Polish ... by far the best stuff I've ever used. Massive shine, deep gloss, reduces swirl refractions, lasts a good while.
I'm not sure why Zaino insists on naming their polymer "wax" as a polish ... Z2 and Z5 have no abrassives at all. So don't worry about that.
For a pure wax ... Pinnacle Souveran is like butter, and it smells delicious. I sometimes lay on a coat of PS on top of Zaino for that extra deep look.

Rejex - I've tried them all. 2.5 years and 80,000 miles later, people still can't believe how new & clean my paint looks.
