Need hand wax recommendations

I currently don't own a DA/Orbital yet, but I would like to wax my car this weekend. It's Jet Black. Paint condition is very glossy with almost non existent swirl marks. What is available at most local stores that would do the best job by hand?

There are many you can get at local stores. I've tried Meguiars and Mother's wax that comes in a bottle. It's easy to use by hand but does not last as long compared to the premium ones you get online. Is there a reputable detail shop in your area? They will most likely carry quality products that are easy to use and effective. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

I wouldn't know if there is or not. I'm in Orlando.

Try Meguiars mirror glaze polymer sealant, lasts long and easy to apply and buff off. I've been using it for a while now and I like it.

I like Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro carnnuba wax. Wax goes on very easy and wipes easy well, and as a bonus, it smells good.

At your local stores, your best option will be Meguiar's. I use Ultimate Paste Wax and Ultimate Quik Wax(spray). Both have been good to me. In fact, I get great results when using them together.

As metioned, for OTC products, Meguiars is a sure way to go. I have used NXT 2.0 and it is easy on easy off and it smells like candy lol.

Been using Dodo Juice Supernatural wax the past 2 years...the shine is PRICELESS. Easy to put on, easy to buff off.
