It depends on what you hope to accomplish. If you just want a good quality wax that does a good job of protecting and looking good, Meguair's Cleaner Wax (paste form) is my recommendation - it does a great job in one coat.

If you're one of those people who likes to do a thorough exterior detailing when it's time to wax, I recommend the Meguair's Deep Crystal System (3 stages, cleaner, polish and wax) or the Zaino System

Meguairs is probably the most reknowned brand of car care products, with an excellent reputation. But I've heard (and seen) great results with the Zaino system as well.

another one to consider is Zymol, They have a really good cleaner wax that is easy to put on and buff off. Its ptretty expensive in the stores but here in So Cal our local CostCos sell them in two packs for about 9.00 a bottle. A little goes a long way and its excellent with minor scratches and water spots.

you might wanna consider Klasse AIO and the Klasse sealant. it does so good with my infiniti and pilot.

I second the Zaino system (http://www.zainostore.com/). Very time consuming process to start, but the outcome is more than worth the effort. Another good product I just started to use is the Meguiar's NXT wax (I think that's what it's called). Goes on easy and comes off easy. Leaves a deep gloss and the paint/clearcoat is smoother than a baby's bottom.

If I really want a nice job and have the time, Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax is unbelievable stuff. It's pretty easy, but sometimes I really wimp out and just use one of the wet spray on products like Eagle One Wax As-U-Dry. Yes, I'm not a person who enjoys car detailing.

The boutique waxes are nice, but I'll take an easy to apply wax used every six months rather than a super-wax that is such a PITA that it just sits on the shelf waiting for me to have a whole weekend to wax the car.

I always do a bi-yearly complete detailing of my entire vehicle. I prefer using 1 coat of Klasse AIO, 2 coats of Klasse high gloss sealant, 1 coat of P21 carnauba wax.

John802, is that the order of how you apply it?

I like the Zaino system also. I have two black cars and exterior maintenance became time consuming. Carnuba waxes and NXT would only last 3 weeks, however the Zaino stuff lasts approx 6 months. Please be aware that Zaino provides a 'plastic' type shine, whereas carnuba and NXT provide more depth of shine. I also purchased a PorterCable, which speeds things up also.

I've been the most pleased with IBIZ:

Why do you have to apply another coat of P21 carnauba wax over the Klasse high gloss sealant?
Isn't the Klasse high gloss sealant the final layer to compliment the Klasse AIO?

Wow, guys that takes up so much of your time. Some many steps, all i use is like a one step wax every few months or so. Well all those steps of detailing will bring out the shine. Cause i have a silver pilot and there isnt much i can do, no matter what wax i use it will still look the same.
