Need Help: What wax & interior uv protectant to use?

Newbie here.
Let me preface this by saying I don't have the energy I had when I was 20 so I really am not looking for an all day or weekend project.

I am quite overwhelmed at all the waxes out there. I am looking for a good easy to use wax with uv protection for my silver 2001 boxster(mostly garaged). The paint is in perfect shape. I would really appreciate your imput. I was looking at the turtle ice or something by meguiars, but it really doesn't matter.

What interior uv protectant do you guys recommend?

I like to use Meguiars products for waxing, polishing, etc. and usually I use Turtlewax/Armor All for the interior.

Most of the people I know that wax their cars use Meguiars products and it comes highly recommended from them and now from myself


Just my .02

Thanks a lot for the reply:
Unfortunately there are at least a dozen different meguiars. do you use the spray on type? I really like the ease of use ones.

Wow, that stuff looks like the ****************!! I would love my box to look like the guys z on there. Sound like a lot of work, but if the end result looks like that, it might well be worth it. Thanks!!

I'm A Mother's Boy

I'm down in Dayton and I too keep my Boxster in the garage whenever I'm not out for a drive. I use Mother's products to include the clay bar kit with liquid carnuba wax and the Showtime instant detailer with a microfiber for touchups. I just gave her a bath with Dawn, using a soft brush on the top. Dried the wheels with the leaf blower. Painted 303 Protectant on the top with a paintbrush. She couldn't be prettier.
