Raceglaze 55 is suppose to last 4-5 months. Cost me about $150 delivered to Canada. Autoglyms new Hi Definition Wax supposedly will last even longer and it retails here for $139. Colli 476 is around $20 and lasts longer than 4 months as does Werkstat Acrylic Jett. I'm doing a side by side on a clients car with FMJ and Werkstat and it'll be 5 months at the end of August. Both are still beading as of three weeks ago.

I bought Collinite 476 for less than $9 and it's WICKED! If you want to spend a bit more and see some of the craziest beading, check out Chemical Guys Pete's '53. Lasts a long time!
