I too like Meguiars NXT (paste for the deep clean, liquid for the quick wax)

But once my products are finished, I'm going to be giving Adams a shot

I like Meguiars Gold Class Liquid, it's easy to use and leaves a nice shine.

I'm steering clear of any synthetic waxes from now on - I've used Surf City Garage's liquid carnauba wax on the Stang and Griots Garages liquid Best of Show carnauba wax on Precious and it sure did make 10.5 year old paint shine like new.

Those colored waxes look decent, but don't protect very well. Also after some heavy rains (which we have been having) you might notice the wax start to "streak"

I'm with Amy, get a nice carnauba paste after you compound and polish the paint.

When we left the Monte Nationals,
Wayne,ashley,Tad and Myself hit some "SERIOUS" rain..downpour on our way home! You could not see barely past the hood! By the time I arrived home.... and even now..with the McGuires Ultimate. It still shining like it did before the Nationals! It poured down rain all most all day yesterday...Looking out the window at it this Morning...Its still looks Great!...

Paste Wax is definitely the way to go!

I try to use paste wax 3x a year. I usually use a liquid (nxt 2.0) about once or twice a month.
