Just after some suggestions for a cheap wax. Currently using a sealant int the form of FK1000p and then just top up during maintenance with BSD when required. Do like FK a lot but fancy dabbling in a wax (i'm sure that's how most of you started and how you end up with dozens of waxes :lol.
Not overly bothered by long durability I'm more after the looks for those summer months where I don't mind reapplying every couple of months.
Want something for around £20-£30 if that's not too cheap.
Going on Ruby red metallic paint (hopefully I've attached correctly)
Bilt Hamber DSW is nice and does last quite a while - sub £20
Lots of recommendations will arrive hopefully, kind of depends what you want.
My first modern wax was AG HD wax and I was very pleased with it, so much so got bought another one as a gift, which is still brand new / not used. Think I might have to sell it as still loads left in my original pot.
Not really in a position to compare other waxes as I've used synthetic sealents alot until now, i.e extra gloss protection, bit I recently picked up some meguiars tech 2.0 paste wax, Was £24 but very impressed with all round finish and beading.
Bilt Hamber DSW (£15). Still beading well on my car when I first applied it in November last year. Applied it on my wife's car two weeks ago and the paintwork is still glossy and beading well, it's one product that performs well and is great value for money.
Given that you use and enjoy FK1000p I would suggest you try out FKs 2685 Pink Wax. Same price, same huge tin, same effortless application and removal but it provides a lovely slick, deep finish.
I did think about that but was edging towards going to different brand as I assume that whilst they're obviously different products they will be made and blended in similar ways. Don't wanna be just a finish kare fan boy I want to experience other brands too

If durability isnt an issue and you want something that'll bring out the best in a nice rich red take a look at some classic waxes like victoria wax concourse red or collectors yellow from cleanyourcar, dodojuice orange crush or purple haze, or meguiars ultimate paste wax.
I have the coco and caked waxes from Waxed Junkies.
They are both good and nice to use. I find the Coco one leaves a nice finish on my black BMW, although I tend to wash and wax often so am not sure on longevity.
Defo try the sample pots available from Dodo Juice plenty of fun for not much cash. I don't see the point in buying a big tin when one of those pots will do the car three times over at the least. If buying one only Orange Crush on red is worth a punt. Halfords have 20% off today on Megs stuff if your itching to get started asap.
