I use Mequiar's Yellow Wax #26 for my Silver A4, it's easy to use and the car looks great!

Default I used to use # 26 on my cars

Now I use One Grand Blitz wax. It last much longer and creates wonderful brilliance! Once a year, I use it in conjunction w/ 3M Imperial Hand Glaze.<p><a href="http://members.home.net/rhlouie/a4.htm"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/Hanssig.jpg" BORDER=0></a>

I just started using One Grand Blitz Wax and the stuff is pretty darn good, IMHO. It goes on easy and is no problem rubbing off. I tried P21S Concours wax a while ago and didn't like it as much because it didn't seem to last all that long.
The shine was very similar though. I've heard that some of the Meguiar's products may cause some slight hazing in your paint but I've only heard that second hand. It may be just a bunch of cr*p.

Default My melange is pretty close to silver as far as depth of shine/reflectivity...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/carshine1.jpg"></center><p>Eagle 1 Wet Wipe n Shine Spray detailer over coat of month-old Zymol. I want excellent protection from a wax that leaves no white residue and a killer shine w/o spending a lot of $ or time with multi-step products and that's exactly what I get with this combo. I wax with Zymol every 2 or 3 months, use the detailer one or twice a week and my car always looks like this. There are many excellent products out there and too many choices, many of which contain the same basic ingredients. IMO you can't go wrong with any quality carnuba wax. I just prefer to use one that doesn't leave white residue.
