I have found that Turtle wax and Mcquires seem to work nicely but when the evening light shines one them just right, there are these odd area's that look like you just smeared oxidation around. Using more polish just smears is around differently.
At first I thought it was that my TT was 13 years old but it does the same thing on our new one. This is for a white finish. It doesn't seem to do it much on a dark finish.
I'm still looking for a wax that wont cause this.

During my 30+ years riding motorcycles, mostly touring bikes with lots of plastic, Pledge was our quick shine of choice 'cause it was so easy, so quick, with great results - 'til the next rain. :E When only polishing a few square feet I could do it every day if I wanted, always carried a can in my tail trunk, and always had a bike that looked as good as new. :B Using Pledge on the trailer with hundreds of square feet to polish is another matter, which is why I use NuFinish instead as it doesn't wash off at the first rain. Just finished the front wall on my trailer this morning - not difficult or too time consuming, looks pretty good, and I won't have to do it again 'til spring! :B I'll leave buffing to the younger folks. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I've tried various waxes and have found for the trailer, good old cheap and cheerful Turtle Wax, applied and buffed off with the full on rotary buffer to be as good as anything.

I've been using NuFinish for years now. It applies very easily and protects just as well as everything else.

Depends how much work you want to put into it, with paste waxes usually offering the longest lasting results but also requiring much more work than a simple wipe on, wipe off liquid. Personally I prefer the latter and find liquid NuFinish works quite well. :B
