From what I've read the surface of a dark car can get very hot very quickly and cause the wax to lose it's durability and looks.
I'm just a casual waxer like yourself, but my goal is to achieve the best look and protection with a minimum amount of labor. That being said I think the best way to go is with Sealants as they offer the longest durability and are simple to apply. After claying I currently put on a coat of ZAIO (an all in one mild polish, cleaner and sealant) topped with ZCS (a wipe on walk away sealant) and then top it with Optimum Spray Wax (a sealant with some carnuba in the formula). A great look with minimum effort. Lasts a good 6 months (through New Hampshire winters), but you can add another coat of Optimum Spray Wax at any time since it only takes 15 minutes. I think you could optain the same results with Duragloss products at allot less cost. Clay, a coat of 105, a coat of 111 and then a coat of AquaWax (a
spray on sealant)
