As with everything, the more you buy, the cheaper it is.
I buy Gyeon WetCoat in the 4ltr container, usually from Clean Your Car.

Old school here and no substitute for arms falling off...
That's not been polished since coming back from France in July but gets washed at least every other week and sadly always parked outside.

The arms falling off problem comes from using too much product. For a T6 you need maybe 4-6g of a wax. Every bit more just ends in your towel. It´s not that your paint absorbs anything.
Even worse if people believe they can layer it for more protection.

If the old school wax is your thing then that’s great, iv used and got some really good results from using Bilt Hamber double speed wax, which I think is one of the best you can buy. But there’s no getting away from the fact that now days there are products which can produce a much better gloss/water bead/ protection all in a fraction of the time and effort. And something like CanCoat, a wax can’t get close to.
If you’ve got the time and can be arsed to spend the hours to do it properly with a wax then great, but if you’ve not tried the spray and rinse types then I’d suggest giving them a go! Just my 2 pence but it’s really whatever floats your boat and what you like using. I like a wax, just don’t fancy applying it numerous times a year.
Equally there is something satisfying about applying a nice wax to the panels!

Nice colour!!!
As a freshly minted pensioner arsing about has taken the place of work based time wasting, arms falling off though is more to do with not swapping hands at 99 as a teenager.
I think reducing the amount of time it takes to get a shine going on when you could be doing something better with your time misses the point that you could just delete the shine session altogether and do something better then catch up later after it has rained again and handily washed away the road salt.
Bloddy rain...

Its good exercise. When Inhad a heart attack some years back waxing a car was on the list of beneficial everyday exercises. Well, who am I to argue with such wisdom?
I've used them all in the past. Posh, common, expemsive, cheap, and everything jn between. I now use the Cap Plan Super Gloss, which gives 98% of the finish and protection of the poshest alternatives, for a quarter the price and a tenth of the effort.
That extra 2% just isn't worth the time and expense.

For you.
Its not worth it for anyone, although that doesnt stop folk going there anyway.
Nevertheless, if that's their thing then all power to them.

All means jack to me
Without getting too technical, when it comes to protecting our paint covalent molecules are good.
That being the case, it seems strange when vendors of silicon dioxide coatings refer to them as polymers, which are inferior for that purpose.
These coatings are superb, but some professionals talk nonsense about them. Its sometimes like listening to David Brent talking about business management, just cringeworthy.

NetShield underneath and you're sorted for a long time.I'm happy to take a break from waxing for a while and try something different
Sonax has just arrived -
The BSD alone struggles a bit on surfaces that get jet washed with water, like the lower part of the doors.
I think some brands mention polymer to describe these products are synthetic and not natural like your old school waxes. From the very little I understand, the si02 coatings are made up of covalent bonds?!
Is that a euphemism?I'm waxing with one arm at the mo (isolating) with a busted finger.
