Wax/Polish is based on your wants/needs...

Several questions really need to be addressed before chosing a wax/polish.
If the car garaged or street parking? Washed frequently or not? Hand washed or machine washed? Area of the country you live in? How much time do you wish to spend? What are your goals i.e car show finish or basic protection?
Products like Klasse All-In-One polymer offer several months of protection and very easy application, but don't provide as much shine or depth as wax products.
Waxes like Griot's Best Of Show wax or P21S wax require more frequent applications (say every 3-4 months) and are more time consuming to apply. However,they offer excellent shine, clarity , and depth of finish.
Check out the "detailing" BB here on Saabnet for lots more information on waxing. Also check http://www.carcareonline.com for how-to articels and FAQs.
If you want the short answer:
Use Klasse All-In-One twice a year for paint protection. Then, when you have time, apply Griot's Garage Best Of Show wax (or another good carnuba wax) over the Klasse for extra shine and depth of finish.
