Again, (ive stated before) the ultimate products are very nice... I typically use the compound as well, I've never really gotten any better results by using the polish....so it collects dust.

I need to find another good wax though.... I don't like detailing every 6 months anymore. Last few wax products have only lasted a few months at most. I miss Granitize.... EPA took their old recipe for some reason. That stuff would last almost a year! I'm currently trying out the Meguiars Ultimate Wax, but we'll see

I did some searching and it seemed that the sealants tend to last longer than waxes. The Meguiar's Tech Wax that I use I believe is technically classified as a sealant.

This page has some good suggestions and is where I started when looking for a wax or sealant. I ended up going with the Meguiar's because it seemed like a happy medium between the shine of a carnuba wax and the long lasting protection of a sealant. We're going into winter up here so we'll see how long it lasts...
