What wax does everyone use?
Well last Sunday everyone at Life asked me, even VAL. Well if you must ask, I mix it up quite a bunch with different brands.
First I use the Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner. 2 coats of this.
Then I followed up with Eagle One WET Polish & Wax to give it that mirrored effect. 1 coat of this.
Then I end it with 1 light coat of Mother's Wax to finish the crystal clear bling bling look.
What does everyone else use?

You've opened a pandoras box by creating this thread. If you think I am hardcore into Motor oil, I am EVEN WORSE into car detailing. Give me some time and I'll post more info!
The products that I use are only available to professionals. I swear if you come into my garage, you will see gallons of wax, degreasers, and soap.
I use Malco and Prowax. Wax Depot stuff is good too.

holy c#@&.
I think I went about 18 months without washing my GS-R once. I think I was forced to wash it after it was coated with road salt after I tried using a lowered (3") GS-R as a snowplow in Mammoth.
My friends kid me that I bought a new car so I don't have to wash them. So for now it looks like this:
