best wax for around 20 bucks?

hi well iv been using meguirs nxt gen 2.0 tech wax on my sapphire blue iroc and dark blue/silver durango and i LOVE this stuff it gives a nice wet look and litterly my dark blue durango is like a mirror. but im running out of this stuff because i use WAYY to much and wax very often and well do you know of the best wax for around 20 bucks or should i buy this stuff again? see i do wash/dry/clay ( meguirs clay bar kit )/ polish ( old turtle wax ice liquid polish)/ and 3 coats of the nxt gen 2.0 tech wax. do you know of any other good products to use? thx everyone
o ya i prefere it to be better for looks other then protection i mean both are great but i just prefere a better wet, deep, clear look. also plz dont suggest zaino i wanna try it but you get so little for so much and i would be tempted to buy every1 of there products. lol i need the bottle to be decent size not no small little tester size tube for 20 freakin bucks.

i also like meguirs nxt gen 2.0 tech wax works very well, makes my car shine very nice and my other car also. i use mequirs clay bar on them also, which helps bring out the shine even more, plus makes it smooooth to the touch

Re: best wax for around 20 bucks?

I only use Meguire's products (Swirl X, car wash, Tech 2.0, interior wipes, etc.) on my cars and what you're using is perfect for the $. Unless you feel like forking out around $100-150 for TurboWax, you're already using the best products out there.

BTW, I only use TurboWax after a full buffing/clear coat restoring detail.

No means at all to insult you in any way, but you just turned 13. You said your mom is giving you the Camaro, but how do you also have a Durango?

With no driver's license, or even a permit yet..

i take care of the thing LOTS. its worth LOTS LOTS more then if i let her use it like a off road suv. i make her park in the back of a parkin lot so no cars/ppl go near my baby. thats why im gonna buy a 80's bronco with 44 swampers, huge lift, and bunch of other off road accesories.

I guess so.

My Camaro was paid for the day I brought it home, but I still don't consider it mine. It won't truly be mine until it's built the way I want it to be. EFI, a T-56, possibly lower rear gears, and a paint job.

I like that saying "Not bought, built."
