Liquid Glass.... not really a wax though...more of a polish. Lasts the longest though. Water beads for a good 6 months with it, and I have a dark green Tahoe..

make sure you get nxt2.0 its alot better.
also meguires #26 is a great product
and collinite 845 is my goto wax because it has good gloss and is bullet proof it lasts for months.

as for the swirls, the waxes depending on what you use can temporarily hide, but its best to compound and polish them out
