Wax advice

I'd made a couple of posts over on Detailing World which I've amalgamated here for the advice of you guys over the pond!



Following on from this thread when I brought up Swissol Zuffenhausen beading I thought I'd post some pics of my own - having washed the car and the heavens having opened!



Now over the last couple of weeks I've been using my new PC on several panels so the wax is at different ages.



First off, the roof.

This was waxed about a month ago.



Next, the bonnet.

This was waxed a fortnight ago.



And lastly, the front bumper that I'd PC'd and waxed this afternoon.

There doesn't appear to be any appreciable difference between them which suggests that Zuffenhausen just doesn't bead very tightly, but is beading just about as well a month after application.



As such I'm wondering if my technique is lacking [although I get tight beading with Einzett Glanz or Meg's NXT & M21] or whether I should try another wax to see how I get on with that.



My car's a metallic black Audi TT and I've been considering the following; Collinite 915, Natty's Blue, P21s, Chemical Guys Pete's 53 or Victoria Concours.



Ease of use and durablity are important.



Any suggestions?

I personnaly like Nattys Blue but on a black car I would go with Sauveran Paste Wax it's a little pricey but worth it. IMO
