I pretty much use all products from Griots garage and have been pleased with them. The catch with the wax is that if it lasts three months, consider yourself fortuniate. But it does give one hell of a nice shine. On the tires I use turtle wax tire 'wax'. I put it on with a wax applicator pad. If the tires get dusty you can wipe them off and they look like new again.
The Porter Cable random obital buffer and polishes that you get from Griots do a wonderful job. My car, and of course paint, are almost twenty years old. After the first time I went over the car (covered in fine scratches) with the polishes, I was amazed at the difference.
Another word on the wax. USE SPARINGLY. This is a very high Carnuba content wax and if applied liberally you will have a good deal of build up. But as I found the excess can be easily removed with their quick shine. By the way, there is NO such thing as a 100% pure carnuba wax. Carnuba has the consistancy of some thing like a brick. While they may use nothing but Carnuba waxes in the wax, the actual Carnuba content is generally lower than about 1/3. The other 2/3's are chemical that make the carnuba usable for waxing paint. So when they say 100% pure Carnuba wax, what they mean is there is no other wax in there aside from Carnuba.
Happy car care!
