Do you have any suggestions for what to buy? i.e. product names? I just use mothers because it's cheap and easy to find locally, but wouldn't mind switching to something better.

That's the difference between a pure caranuba and a poly wax.
Caranubas will give a much deeper luster shine but need to be reapplied every 3 months or so.
Polywaxes (Klasse is another) can last up to a year, but they don't give the deep luster that a caranuba does, they just give a glossy shine.
I agree. The best results I've seen have been a caranuba on top of a poly such as zaino or klasse. But I'm satisfied enough without the caranuba so I don't bother with it these days.
