I use Smartwax products, first two coats of Smartwax sealer and on top one coat Smartwax carnauba for extra shine.
Stuff wax. Look into g-techniq exo

Collonite 476 - cheap and very hard wearing!
A classic wax!!!

Off topic and it may sound bizarre but how are you lot washing your cars to get a decent finish before putting a good/expensive wax on?
The amount of old grease and film on our car would take some hand cleaning due to the wife parking under a blossom tree at work, the sap has made it look dull... I could high power wash with a heated jet wash but I don't think it would help!!!
All the suggestions of good wax will help me on the quest for our "cough" Ford lol
Jet wash - snow foam - jet wash. Then inspect it and see if it needs more. If snow foam isnt enough then a microfibre wash mit and two bucket method and wash in straight lines along te length of the car, never up and down or round and round
Clay bar then cut/polish/wax. May need a few goes to clean the paint up properly

Wax on a light colour car dosn't give very good lcairty and depth!
Use a paint sealent........... Auto finesse - tough coat!
You will never look back!

It more than likely could be. No company will facilitate this for me though and I wouldn't know what it would cost?
THere are so many.
It's all down to your tastes and likes.
I love the Dodo Juice purple haze is great. But i find hard to buff off. GReat finish and lasts ages too. Just hard work.
I still love the Meguiars range. Easy on and off, lasts long. Gives a great finish.

Yes it is a hard wax,not the best product to remove.
Meguiars are good,i still use them after 9years,not all products but quite a few,there tyre shine is amazing!

Meguiars endurance tyre gel is awesome - we can get that out here!
Saw a video yesterday about g-techniq's new crystal serum. Get that stuff wrong you have to wet flat it off
^ Some of there stuff is fantastic. Other stuff is a nightmare putting on or off... And it can some times look hazey not matter what you do.
