New question for you guys... Best wax at WalMart? Don't have time to get anything shipped, I need to get it this Friday and I did the TSX and Mazda3 with turtle wax, no claybar nor polish. I have a way of getting the scratches out so it's fine, anyone got any ideas? Turtlewax is a bitch and I don't want to spend so much time waxing anymore especially in the cold.
Or should I just go somewhere else? Be specific please and should I just keep the coat (yes one coat..., it was taking too long) on and wait till it fades off?

it beads the water the best and seems like it has the best deep gloss look that a wax can bring with out polishing and such.
i believe its about $20 last time i picked it up... its although bit harder to apply and remove but still do able even by hand. wait time is about 15 - 20 min after application but pretty good result imo.

Advanced
I just picked up some S100 wax and cleaner. Applied after a good clay bar, followed by some detailing spray. Both of the S100 products were removed with ease and it looks better than new. Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos and it rained the next day. Typical.

i tried the pinnacle advanced swirl remover. it works fine, it's just too dusty after you work it in. the pinnacle wax i hear is good. not sure about the durability.
you're also going to want 5.5" pads. it'll fit most panels on most cars. the 6.5" pads are a touch too big.
i'd say get a PC kit with pads only, then order your polishing, sealant, and wax products separately. do a google search of the specific products you are looking to use for the reviews.
everyone has their favorite products. i have my own collection of products i've tried/use after much google searching for reviews. it also depends on your budget.

Get this or something similar + polishing compound and a sealant/wax. You only need to use polishing compound for paint correction to remove swirls/light scratches.
For light paint correction orange pads are awesome, make sure to get one finishing pad for the sealant/wax.

Not that I know of. Just keep the paint protected with a sealant or wax. Ideally reapply paint protection once a month.
