What sealant then wax do you use?

Was wondering what some Guys and even the detailers here use on their cars or clients cars to seal the paint and or wax it. Tell us personal vehicle or clients and how it holds up just a review to help me
And others as winter approaches

I use Collinite 845 as my winter wax. Easy on easy off, good durability. After regular washes, I just use Optimum Car Wax (spray wax) to give the paint a fresh boost.

it's a carnuba paste wax that also has some sealant in it. Haven't tried it out yet though, waiting for the new car to come they sell sample containers of it for $15

Some real nice answers so far. My list is way too long to list

Msot recently, Optimum Opti-Coat. Been waiting to try this stuff out for a long time and finally am getting the chance. I figure if it lasts even 1/4 the time some guys are getting, I'll still be pleased.

I've been using the Klasse twins for a while now, but use All-In-One the most since the Sealant Glaze is only necessary every 6 months ( I usually do it more often though since I feel you can never SG too often ). As for a final wax I haven't been really using one but when I do I use my bottle of Black Magic ( It's the highest rated wax by Consumer Reports ).

-Natty Blue
-CG 50/50
-Dodo Juice Purple Haze

OK, dumb question but why different products on different cars?
Color?
Age?
I'm really blind on this stuff. I know to clay and then I wax... but thats it...
I have a Jet Black 07 335 with hairlines all over it and swirls too. If I clean it with clay (only did it once) then wax by hand, the swirls are gone but I don't think it shines as much as it should. It has a cloudy look in places so I know it could be buffed...
