Years ago a friend told me that NuFinish got the CR best wax nod. I really liked it on my cars and trucks. I continued to use it on my bike as well and as they say... "Once a Year" and detail spray in between. When the old bottle of Meguiar's ran out decided to try Turtle Wax detailer for black. Happy with this also so I went ahead and got the TW Black Box !! Black cleaner, wax and detailer. Next time I do the black overhaul I will wear rubber gloves cuz I got black hands too 
Another plug for Turtle Wax is there trim restorer. Made the fading plastic passenger floor boards look showroom new and no greasy wet look.

Worst I ever used, "ice" the best I ever used, tie between auto magic carnuba and nu finish. Best compromise for long lasting and easy to use, "nxt generation" wax. Worst product ever? "Nevr dull" magic wadding. Includes free magic scratching!

Keep in mind, if you go with a carnauba wax it will yellow over time and have to be stripped and redone, one reason many are going with polymers and synthetic polishes.

RE: Wax etc
Like many of you, I've used just about every product out there with varying results.
I don't really care about any product anymore, I've settled on Turtle Wax "Black Box" (Only for black paint, though)
It contains a paint cleaner and smoother that removes all those little hairline scratches that you can see in the sun that is black colored, and a really good black colored wax that leaves the paint as smooth as a baby's ***.

Mothers has a good line of products. To be honest my 07 never seen wax until I was ready to trade it in. Now I have an orbital polisher with all the trimmings. The first thing I did with my new bike was hit it with carnauba.
