I use Harly wax on my black ZT last a long time and great value. Two tubs about £30, been waxing 3 cars for 2 years now on the second. I use SRP and EGP both from Autoglym. Some people like to spend a fortune but there is no need its in the application and prep work.

I use Turtlewax Zipwax shampoo for the initial clean. (1 purchase lasts for years)
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165527 followed by MER ultimate car polish (1 year on and still have 1/3 left) http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165527 After that a double coating of Colinite 476 wax. (It's a hard was and 1 tub should last for years) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=110314314006 It's been weeks since I did this and the car still looks like it was just cleaned. The dirt and water just runs off the wax.
