Zymol cleaner wax is ok, it's actually made by turtlewax. For durability try collinite 476 or chemicalguys jetseal 109.

Thats because super resin polish is not a last step product, it's a paint polish that has fillers to mask swirl marks/scratches. You need to add a wax or sealant after super resin polish for durability.
Do the whole car with super resin, this will hide any of the minor scratches and swirls and then use your zymol after on the whole car

You could be right, I've never used cleaner wax on top of srp, a pure carnauba wax on top of it would be fine.

The beads arnt too bad, quite big, but most of thats down to the surface dirt affecting how tight the surface tension is.
Once washed, the beads will become tighter than shown.
I had similar sized ones on mine after 3 wks of no washing, & that had Collinite 915 over Jetseal109 on it

My Collinite 476 does not last very long, and I have about 4 coats. I think I need some sort of rotary / buffer to apply the wax and buff off, its too hard by hand, perhaps I need to warm the wax up first?
Try using a damp foam applicator, the wax needs to be applied thin, for more durability add another layer. I find 476 very good, I use it for the winter months.

Beno, as Neil says, Collinite 476s should be lasting a long long time. I got a genuine 6 months of very prominent beading on both my cars, used daily in the winter grime, parked outside too. I don't add more than 2 layers either.
You don't need a machine, or to warm the wax (even in the dead of winter) just a foam applicator pad. Put it flat into the tin, twist with a little pressure, then put it on the panel and move the applicator in small tight circles. You'll be able to see the wax on the panel, and it will go a long way before you need to reload the pad. Once you've done the whole car, it should be very easy to buff off, pretty much one wipe if you've applied it thin enough.

What's the Jetseal like to apply and remove? Is it a shade only job?
I ask as I really struggle for shade at car washing time where I live.

no you just polish like a girl
no i too was like you, putting loads on, half way round the car my arm was killing, till i learnt that you only need to apply a very thin layer and not cake it onto the car, easier to wipe on and off and also your supply of wax lasts longer
I cant really say, I only ever detail the car indoors, I guess as long as its not direct sun you'd be ok.
Where do you get it from?
Also, would it go on after a polish, and then you could add wax on top if needed/wanted?

Yes apply it after polishing and add a carnauba wax after.
