I use wax called S100. It's available at Harley Davidson shops for around $15. You can apply it in direct sunlight or shade. You wipe it on in a circular motion and then remove it immediately. No drying or waiting for it to haze. It goes on like butter and comes off just as easily. Put on your favorite classical music, pour a nice glass of wine, and wax your car like it was intended.
If you want to get serious about detailing, I highly recommend checking out
www.autopia.org There is alot of great info on that site and non-biased info about all kinds of cleaners, polishes, waxes, towels, etc.
