Best wax to use on old paint

Was just curious to know what works best for you guys when waxing your car with stock paint.

My paint is not in the best of shape but it still looks very clean.

Was just curious to know also, if anyone has ever used a wax that repairs old paint? to make it look new or something. =)

Wax will not repair paint. It serves a protective (and cosmetic) function only. You can use polish to improve the appearance of old paint (which you can then coat with wax). Products by Meguiars or Griots are good.
