Default Best Wax

Anyone got opinions on what they think the best wax is? I am going to have to do some serious detailing to my new cruiser. I have got little marks in the rear bumper that look like some sort of containment on the paint. Most of them seem to buff out. I was using a Turtle Wax product called Platium but it is only a wax and not a cleaner wax.

It is my opinion that preferences for wax are like tire loyalties.
Just ask about tire brands....
"Best" means different things to different people.
I happen to like DuPont Teflon car wax because it lasts, and mud, road salt, bird poop, etc, don't stick to it.
Are there better shines? Yes, but it gives a good shine, and I can't wax every week.

If its on the surface try a Meguiers claybar kit. Do the whole car you will be surprised what you will remove even on a new car. I prefer a sealant like Gary sells. If you want more information than you can possibley use visit the autopia forum.

Agree about claybar -
Keep it moist, don't "lean" on it, just keep it moving until it glides - you'll be amazed.
