+1 on detailed image. But if I had to pick anything from autozone it would only be the Meguiars stuff. Their NXT wax is pretty good.

Sealant then wax usually waiting 12-24 hours in between to let the sealant cure. Also make sure you dont use a cleaning wax otherwise it will just strip the sealant right off.

I just finished up getting mine ready for winter today. I use the Poorboy's World EX-P Sealant and let that cure over night then follow it up with Poorboy's World Natty's Red Paste Wax.

I just finished doing the wax this afternoon. This is how it turned out. The Natty's Red really makes the metal flakes in PG pop.

I have been using Meguiars NXT for the 1.5 years I've owned my G. It's a good wax for the money, plus you can get it anywhere.
... But, I finally decided to go for some nicer products from detailed image. I bought Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 and Chemical Guys XXX Hard Core Paste Wax.

You can try the poorboys ex-p sealant I liked to in my earlier post. I've used it several times and really like it.

For otc stuff, NXT is your best bet. Looks good, relatively easy to apply and remove, and has decent durability, and is available just about everywhere.

That being said...with some research and advice...you can get much better results with quality products. As most said...Detailed Image has lots of variety in high quality stuff...

Go with wakeboardr's suggestion for Poorboy's EX-P Sealant. It's one of the least expensive sealants, but you don't sacrifice much in terms of durability and looks.
