OTC, I like Meguiars #26 also, maintained with their spray wax.

I've been impressed with the look of Dodo juice waxes as well. But they arent OTC.

My vehicles sty in a garage nearly 24 7 so durabity is never an issue for me.

Get the Clear Bra, I just got mine installed at a shop in Oakville. The guy did a really god job. He wrapped the full hood, did the front end, headlights, foglights, trim around the windshield, mirrors, gills (part in front of rear tires, this is imporatant) and behind the tires. He also gave me some xtra so I could do my radio. He needed the car for the full day, I picked it up next day. Of course it stayed in shop overnight

Let me know if you want the contact, I see you are in the GTA

I did mine as soon as I noticed I got a few stone chips in front of the rear wheels

I just tried Meguiar's Ultimate Wax Liquid. I needed an over the counter product on short notice after buying my car. I washed, clayed, and applied by hand. I didn't polish because the pollen season was coming and dealer installed swirls weren't that bad in the IOM paint. Was easy to put on and take off, and came with a fairly good applicator and microfiber towel (although the towel was black, which I don't like since you can't see dirt in it.)

I was really surprised how well it did. Still beading really well after several washes and our western Washington rain over a month later (it's my DD, 25 miles on back roads each way). It also took care of most of the swirls mentioned earlier, which I didn't expect. It also did as advertised, and didn't mark up any of the black trim or plastics, although I did get it in some cracks and that buildup did turn white after a few days. It is probably the best OTC product I would recommend.
