I don't want to spend over $15 (unless someone can convince me to), what is the best wax on the market for a reasonable price.

I would rather not have a paste as well.

Those are brands, not specific waxes. Anyways, if you're going to buy an over the counter wax, stick with Meguiar's or Mothers. In the Meguiar's lineup NXT Tech Wax and #26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax are both very nice. In the Mother's lineup I really love Mothers Reflections Wax along with Mother's Top Coat (a seperate product) for silver. The Reflections Wax and Top Coat will probably run you closer to $30, but it looks really nice on silver.

if you want to go crazy and get some the "detailers special" type of product, poorboy's world makes a great wax called Natty's Blue. I use it on my own personal car. looks awesome!

I love Natty's Blue. I used #21 when I detailed my car the day after I bought it, but next month I'm going to re-do it all with Natty's Blue. Great stuff.

Can you return it? I haven't used it, but I've heard absolutely dreadful reviews regarding their products. There are much better over the counter waxes you can get.

Also, why haven't you used it? I've had my car a little under 2 weeks and I'll be putting a second coat of Meguiar's #21 on tomorrow. Its never too early to begin waxing.

Natty's Blue is stellar. However, you said no paste if at all possible. In that case, I would look into Optimum's Car Wax. It's an awesome spray wax.
