I'm using supernatural at the moment. Sits right in the middle at the moment. Lovely finish and pretty durable. For winter use I used finishkare 1000 and for the ultimate finish (I've tried a lot of waxes)  pinnacle sovereign is a joy to use. Soft as butter, smells amazing and for ultimate shine I've not found better!

For all of you out there that want a nice finish without the effort of claying, machine polishing, glazes and waxes, meguires nxt tech wax 2 is a fantastic all in one product. Better finish that autoglym srp and has none of the nasty dusting!

But really at the end of the day, what's the point in applying a polish or wax over the top of bonded contaminants?

[winrya]

All in one products generally have cleaners, fillers, glazes and a sealent in them so they do alot of work to improve a paint finish.  Granted, claying and machine polishing is the only way to get a genuinely swirl free finish but I've seen some awful finishes tranformed by just using megs tech wax!  Plus, ingnorance is bliss, once upon a time, a sponge, chamois and some cheap turtle wax was good enough for my eyes. Car ownership was so much easier and cheaper back then;)

[craigy123]

It was definately cheaper!! Haha, by a long shot!!

On a slight tangent....Has anyone found any issues with multiple layers of dodo juice diamond white? (3-4 layers) On my candy white edition 30 it seems to leave wierd dots and attract a lot of dirt and dust, i mean a lot! The dots are hard to describe, very similar to what happens when you slap loads of tyre shine on at a show then drive home and have it spattered all up the sides! The crucial difference being...i have no tyre shine on my car!   These marks are also in places like the rear quarter, behing the rear window, not usuallya place affected by tyre sling.    The dust is worst on the roof and bonnet.
Any help much appreciated

Never used White diamond but I'm pretty confident in saying there is little to no point in layering waxes to that degree. Layering like you mention looses it's effectiveness after the second coat. If you have two good coats, you will struggle to beat that.

Thanks mate, coulda pm'd me and save the embaressment 
Its mainly down to boredom that i ended up putting so many on, i couldnt find anything else to do to it 
I waxed the wheels, i waxed the door shuts, i waxed the under side of the front and rear bumper, i waxed the underside of the bonnet, i waxed...you get the picture? Im now just gonna wait till next month and buy a new wax and probably begin all over again! Also,most of the wax will now be off my car thanks to vw washing at its service today!

I'll add mine to the queue then 

Looks like its been washed with a bag of gravel at the moment.. 

[stealthwolf]

Truckie, I swear I've heard of that issue. Can't remember which wax but am sure I read about it. Probably on DW.

[craigy123]

If you apply too many layers you may get a yellowing on the paintwork.

Ive just got some Valet Pro house wax, as I prefer applying liquid waxes :)

[p3asa]

Poorboys Back Hole Glaze
then Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax Blue.
For the wheels I use Poorboys Wheel Sealant although I've been told its the exact same stuff as the Nattys wax blue but a different colouring agent!!

Think I'll try Collinite 476 next.

FK1000 for the alloys
Megs 16, Collinite 476 or Victoria's Concours for the bodywork.
