Default What kind of wax/sealant?

Much as I like to do my own detailing, I just don't have the time to do it myself nor have the patience to learn the process.

So I hit up my local detailing service center and they offered several services but I'm not really quite sure on which one to with. Here's there offers:

I think I can skip on the interior services but my exterior needs some serious work. There's noticeable "swirls" around the car and it just doesn't seem like a "new" car. I got suckered into paying for the Resist-All out of the dealership and I'm having doubts the dealership even did it.

the Resist All that you get is touch of class, no? i got that and they gave me a container full of stuff to detail my car. everything from interior to exterior. but i didn't trust that stuff. but i'll use the tire shine thing to see how good it is.

I HIGHLY recommend Autoglym Radiant Wax as a sealant/wax. It's a light polish but it also holds up very well against the elements.

A lot of the products used by the "wham bam thank you maam" detailers are filler type/and won't last very long. The quality of products used, and the amount of work put into it will usually reflect in the price (which it does not seem to).

Just my .02.
