- Meguiars Ultimate Wash & Wax with Ultimate Liquid Wax
- EagleOne Wash followed up with Polish & Wax
I'm not just looking at these but these are where I'm going to start doing more research. Klasse sounds great but a bit pricey and no car wash available to compliment it bothers me, that and I don't like the 2 step application process. I barely have time to do one application when I can squeeze this stuff in.
I noticed that all of your narrowed down list are available over the counter. That's definitely an advantage. While not many products can reliably go six months in all kinds of challenging conditions, lots of decent products can reliably go four. So, worst case scenario, you have to do your car three times a year.
Given your time constraints, I would consider a rinseless wash. The only one I know of that's available over the counter is the excellent Turtlewax product. Its reasonably priced and available at some Wal-Marts. (You can also order stuff cheaply at Wal-Mart for pickup later for no extra charge).
