Anybody have any good recommendations? I've seen a lot about it I just don't know which are the good brands that hopefully don't cost a fortune. When I say a fortune I mean $100 or more for a 3 oz bottle but then again I've never used it only waxes like carnuba.

I have used this on my black maverick and my wife’s car. It works great and have no problem with streaking.

Awesome I love the price as well as the brand I've been using McGuire's stuff for about 28 years. Does it hold up well to weekly hand washing? Also curious about how many applications would you say it's good for more than one vehicle? As I would also like to apply it to my 19 explorer.

I used to use Turtle Wax Ice on all my vehicles. It was almost like a ceramic. Loved that stuff. They discontinued the Ice line, so I have now tried Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish and Wax. I am very happy with it. Works on black plastic trim too. 14 oz. bottle will do at least 2 normal-sized vehicles. I did the Maverick and the Mustang, still have some left.

I have done 2 cars with the one bottle and it holds up well. Also seems to repel dirt and water good. It comes with a bottle that removes all other wax before you use their coating. If you need to you should clay bar before applying.

Adams is easy to apply, and has good durability. I use their Graphene Spray.

For $16 you can get a spray bottle of Turtle Wax Ceramic which will take about 30 minutes to apply. There are no tricks to putting it on - spray a small area and then wipe it off. My car before the Maverick was a Jaguar F-Type which had a pro coating applied at a cost of about $2500 (including all the prep). I can't tell the real world difference in the coatings. Yes, the Turtle Wax will need another coat, but the bottle has now done 2 cars and there is enough for a third, all for $16.

Simoniz Glass Coat! Same as dealership uses. I purchase it on eBay for under $25 a bottle. A 2 oz bottle is more than enough for a Maverick. I have a white maverick and it shines and provides great protection.

Lots of good products available under $50. This is turtle wax ceramic graphene, $30

With clay hand wash before. Get a fine clay pad or cloth, about $50. Lasts a long time with proper use.

To add to Matts comment: I watched a video on ceramics and after torture tests (washing, mud, etc.) the Turtle wax beat the more expensive ones in most of the tests. I've been using it now for over a year as well as Turtle wax ceramic wash and have to say I'm impressed.
