TW-Platinum paste wax. NXT. There's a body shop supply store that carries a brand called Distinctive Details- Excalibur express wax. Looks really good. I think its meant for auto reconditioners but it looks great but i'm unsure about the durability. Its like $15 for a quart.

NXT 2.0 can't be beat, especially at its ~ 15.00 price point. Another that looks and lasts is Pooboys EX.

Hope this helps,

Pete

I just went to Harbor Freight and picked up some Collinite 476S for $8 and change. Cannot beat that for cheap, yet great wax!

Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax and you also get good durability.

Collinite and NXT are the cheapest I've found so far. Probably the best bang for the buck right now.
