s100 carnuba wax can be found in any local harley davidson stores. it's by far the easiest wax i ever worked with and produces an outstanding result. meguiars NXt tech wax is what im currently using right now. It's also very easy to use and also yeilds a very nice result. Walmart and advanced auto parts carry these stuffs. There are a lot more to choose from. If you really want to learn a lot more on how to keep you're car looking top notch i suggest to visit http://www.autopia.org or http://www.detailcity.com.

Another vote for Zaino. Make sure to get a couple of layers on the first time around, though. I think 3 is the recommended minimum (and the max you should apply in any 1 day.) I applied about 10 coats of Zaino during my first few months of ownership. Haven't done anything to my car except wash it since then. Now, over 1 year later with nearly 30K miles on the clock, the car still looks great after a wash and dry. Zaino's about as durable as they come.

I tried Blackfire and liked the results of the claybar, polish, then protectant. It created the slipperiest (is that a word?) finish, so much so that a mf towel would nearly slide off the hood. However I was completely blown away with the cosmetic results of Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax followed up with NXT Spray Wax. My chrome silver roadster looks like at any minute it will act like T-1000 from Terminator 2 and start shape-shifting (ie. liquid metal).
