Hap, there's literally 100s of options in this market, and very much down to your preferences. They all do a vert similar job, so really up to what you like.

Some options:
Meguiars Ceramic Wax
Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic

Have a look online for reviews by Forensic Detailing channel, lots of great advice there.

Just applied x3 coatings of Gyeon cancoat and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Very easy to apply and I’ve got half a bottle left for another car

I’m not sure how to post up pics on the site but already had a few comments from strangers when I’ve parked it up.

Washed the car 3-4 times and it hasn’t affected the coating.

I applied it to the paint and also the engine cover but really couldn’t be bothered with coating the wheels as it would be a pain.

I've used the Meguirs spray wax before, which seems weird as you put in on a wet car and spray it down to activate. Seemed to work well, but not sure it lasted very long.
I now have some SAM's Ceramic Boost, which is also a spray on wet car and hose down to activate. I've been using some SAM's products recently and really impressed.

Car looks fantastic, but not sure it’s just the Gyeon making it look so good!

Arghhh heavy rain but great opportunity to check water dispersal
Very good sheets off nicely so once dry will see if it is clean or dries dirty
