Default Regional wax recommendation

I was wondering if we could narrow down some waxes and polishes used in the northeast? The S I'm getting in the next week and a half is BB with some swirls. I've used Zaino on my Nighthawk Black Civic Si with great results but I was wondering if there's something just as good without all the work and upkeep.
Its hard to make heads or tails out of the Wash and Wax Forum. There are so many people with so many different combinations of products. I'm sure there will be a lot of variance here, too, but at least it will be from folks who operate their S in the hot summers and cold winters of the NJ, NY area.
TIA

Let me try it this way: I was thinking of getting the Klasse Kit, All-in-One and Gloss Sealant Glaze. Anyone have experience using this on BB?

Ive used the Klasse twins on my '00 DVP GS-R. Results were decent. Apply the AIO with a PC 7424 and medium-final finish pad. buff off by hand. Apply the Klasse SG by hand SPARINGLY.

hey Markus or others...

Got any ideas how to get tar and road crap off these exhaust tips (stock TL-S)? Not sure what they are made of, they sit right behind the rear tires and are tough to keep clean.

I use I think it is called Number 7 chrome and metal polish. Works really really well to clean up exhaust tips. Cleans them up very fast and effortlessly.

That begs the question does anyone do anything special to clean or polish AP2 V2 rims or just wash them normally when you wash the car?

I have had great success with 'Eagle One Nevr-Dull" metal polish. You can pick it up in most auto stores or hardware stores. Stuff will break down just about anything on the exhaust tips. (http://www.eagleone.com/pages/produc...=1006&cat=5006)

Last resort for me would be extra fine steel wool "0000".
That OR Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish will work well.
