Mods are currently being changed .....

best is subjective. Need to consider things like how often you're willing to reapply, how much time can you dedicate to application/removal, where vehicle is parked, color, etc. Anyway, w/o knowing that stuff, I still recommend OptiSeal b/c it has great durability, inexpensive (relatively), and elementary application.

I usually use Mothers Carnauba Wax. Some days where you don't feel like waxing, use Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax.
