I stick to acrylic polymers, only use carnauba as a topper

Sooo, Klasse/Zaino/Blackfire/Platinum (depending on what I have lying around, and what car is going on)

For carnauba, I stick with P21S, Blitz, or Pinnacle Souveran.

I'd have to agree with what StyleTeg said. You can't go wrong with zaino/blackfire/klasse as a polymer.

If you dont want to spend a lot of money, I'd recommend Meguiars or Mothers phase systems. Meguiars has the ABC system, whiles Mother's has the pre-cleaner/sealant/carnuba system. For the money, both are very good and give you a good shine.

I'd also recommend getting an random orbital buffer, which makes buffingthe car a lot easier. Get a Porter Cable 7336SP, its the best out on the market. Also, dont get a cheap single speed buffer, it'll do more damage than help.

Lastly, Zymol, cleaner wax, the green stuff, is a decent wax for the price, however I found out that is made and distributed by Turtle Wax to be sold at chain stores. So the Zymol most people buy, isnt like the $7000 wax that gave the company its reputation.

The cleaner wax is still made by zymol, they just have a distribution agreement with Turtle Wax because of turtle waxes shelf space all over the country

I was using Zymol, but I just switched to Zaino. I think it looks noticeably better. It is kind of hard to put on because you can't really see where you have waxed (and you are supposed to use a small amount). Once it dries (about an hour) it is very easy to take off and it looks amazing. I put two coats on this weekend and snapped some digital pictures. Here is one of them. That p21s stuff is supposed to be unreal.
