Best Wax/Polish for Enamel Paint

Im looking for the best wax out there. There are too many choices at the local auto parts store, so which wax has given the best results for you guys?

Ive just polished my truck, and now want to wax it.

Which wax is best? Are they all about the same?

Any ideas on the sequence of application, removal and finish?

Forget wax, they just dry out and accumulate on the surface and you have to clean the paint then really good to get rid of the build up. Use Zaino instead. I bought two bottles each of Z2 and Z5 8 years ago and just finished one bottle up last month after using it on 4 different cars. It lasts a very long time, and makes the paint look just awesome. It is real easy to use, and prep work is no different than if you plan to wax it. Just clay bar with Dawn and water, wash it all down then apply a very thin coat, let dry 30 minutes, wipe off, apply a coat of Z6 gloss enhancer, which is spray on, wipe off and takes very little to do, then apply second thin coat of polish, and you are done. You can add 2 more coats the next day to enhance the finish even more and when done, the surface is silky smooth. It holds up to Northern IL weather very well too. I use it on all my cars, but haven't done my truck as it will take a long time to get the paint cleaned and scratches removed. I tested a small section on a door back in 03 to see the color difference, and to this day I can still tell where I did it whenever I wash the truck. It is amazing stuff and to me well worth the price.
