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)

followed by MER ultimate car polish (1 year on and still have 1/3 left)

After that a double coating of Colinite 476 wax. (It's a hard was and 1 tub should last for years)

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.
