Default Hand Waxes?

Hi all,

I've been trying to survive by frequent applications of spray wax, but finally have a weekend off to give my 2IS a good waxing. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds available to buy a buffer so I'm going to do it the old fashioned way.

Any recommendations as far as what brand and type of wax to get?

Looks like the majority of Lexus owners here use NXT Tech Wax. Available at most autos stores and stores like Target, Walmart, K-Mart, etc.

CG Pete's 53 FTW. I also like DP Max Wax and Zymol Titanium. CG XXX Hardcore Wax is the best bang for the buck under $20, IMO.
