You're going to get varying answers from everyone! Variables such as surface prep, paint type, paint condition, age, and climate all effect the longevity of these products.

Unless all these products where tested on the same surface and the same climate, there's really no straight answer to your question.

As far as user experience goes, you can't beat the Meg's Ultimate Wax line.

My top picks for durability would be the Colli's, WDGPS, Menz PL, and FK1000.

From the ones listed I have Ultimate Liquid Wax, Collinite 845,476,915 and WGDGPS 3.0.

Bare in mind all my cars are garaged and my climate is very different this part of the world where temperatures range from 6 deg C in Winter to 36 deg C in Summer with no snow at all ever.

The 915 at 9 months has outlasted both its siblings for me-845/476.

476 was close to WGDGPS 3.0 in durability.

WGDGPS 3.0 was second most durable and Ultimate Wax outlasted 845 which was the lowest but still at around 2.5 months.

Different paints and environments will have different outcomes but from the list 915 and WGDGPS 3.0 are at the top for durability.

Looks wise again 915 was first with WGDGPS 3.0 the runner up again.

Also not on your list is Finish Kare Hi-Temp 1000P which has lasted the same as Ultimate Wax for me with an almost identical shine too.

As for slickness, WGDGPS 3.0 is the best in that regard and keeps my paint cleanest the longest.

Hope I helped.
