Default Best wax for cactus green A4?? Best wax in general?

For those of you who own a cactus green A4...what is the best wax you'd recommend?

I'd be interested to know, since after looking at more than half a dozen sites, I've come across Zymol Carbon, Mother's Gold Liquid Wax, Mother's Carnauba Wax, Mother's original Formula paste Wax ...I'm getting dizzy here.

Appreciate hearing what you recommend, and above all, looks the best!!

Thanks

I put a coat of <B> Meguiar's Gold Liquid Wax </B> on first (every couple of months) and then about once a month I put a coat of <B> Zymol Cleaner Wax </B> for shine.

Default Some answers....

It's Lumar (sp?) tint....the rear window is darker than the sides, but I don't recall exactly what percentage, sorry. Price was pretty high (I think something like $350 or so) but the guy who installed it does top-notch work and has tinted both of my previous cars.

I have used the Meguiar's 3 step for years on a Saturn but recently used the Turtle Wax Emerald with outstanding results especially on dark cars. The shine is great and there is no residue. For best results use a paint cleaner, claybar and light polish before the wax. I just bought my Hibiscus Red A4 and I can't wait to try it on it. What is the word on how long you should wait to wax a new car?
