Default I need new wax, any recommendations?

So, having used the Meguiars quick detail spray for about a year or two, I'm looking for a new wax to use since the Meguiars is running out again. I don't really like using paste wasxes, but I'll use them. I was thinking of using that, i thinks it's Meguiars paste wax, it's in a red tin can, and it smells soooo good. I was also considering the Turtle Liquid Ice wax that I saw on a commercial a few days ago, but reading reviews about the product (leaving a haze, and a bad shine) a while back made me think otherwise. I have a Silver Car (obviously lol). Thanks everyone for your recommendations and/or opinions.

Do you mean wax or just any paint protection product? Last time somebody asked about wax, I assumed he meant wax, didn't turn out so great.

I'm a big fan of using Zaino products on both of my toys!

so the zaino is a polish, what's the difference between a polish and a wax? (beyond synthetic vs carnauba)

zaino is indeed very good...

not sure if you should use a polish on top of a wax... maybe 04MonteSS can expand on that?

I've been using Turtle Wax Ice for a few months now. I think it looks incredible and I get compliments all the time about it. I've had no problems with it. However, my car is white. Maybe it shows up differently on different colors. I highly recommend it. It's worth a try.
