Another good couple on a budget would be Autosmart Luxury Wax - very similar to AG SRP but gives better results imo.
Another is Poorboys Polish with Carnuba.
Both I stock. I've got the Luxury Wax in atm and the Poorboys one in next few days.
For added durability, look at using a wax after polishing. Ultimate durability paired with a nice deep finish on black, go for Collinite 915 Marc D'Elegance - again I stock it

Collinite 845 ( a liquid / paste wax )
Collinite 476s ( "normal" wax - very durable )
Collinite Marc D'Elegance 915 ( similar to 476s but with more Carnuba content so gives even more depth - especially to darker colours )
I don't stock the Dodo waxes really now as they proved to be a very slow seller for me - up until recently I still had stock from last PVS  I can still get it in, but it takes a while and I can't offer any decent rates on it I'm afraid.
I also have Poorboys Natty Blue and White waxes coming in in the next week or so.
My personal choice for your cars Colin would be 476s - you'll find a couple of coats on each will last you most the year after that - so makes maintenance very easy afterwards! All the Collinite waxes offer superb durability.
I'm also getting the new Autosmart Wax in soon as I've been trialling it for a few months now and am mega impressed with it - offers very similar results to Dodo Supernatural but at less than 1/2 the price!

Yup definitely PM me with the bits you're after and I can sort you out a deal.
I also have my own new waffle weave drying towels in which aren't on my eBay store yet. They're about 1/2 a Corsa bonnet size and mega absorbant, £5.50 each

Ok man, i'll have a perusal at your store.
Dont need much really, maybe just a wax, a bar of clay (still got loads of speed detailer), & maybe one of those large drying towels.

What the heck is Red mist? 
Im not wanting to turn into a detailing queen y'know!!
Im looking to progress from my current routine of, wash down with pressure washer > AG shampoo with mitt & one bucket > microfibre towel dry > AG SRP applied by applicator pad & buffed off with a mitt. Just needing a good wax for a bit of durability.
Im already half way there arnt I

Red Mist is essentially a quick detailer, but also contains sealant properties so it add's protection each time you use it.
Idea behind it is that once you done the initial big clean up; ie wash, polish wax etc, each time you wash it afterwards, once you've dried it, give the car a very quick coat of this. It's very easy to use; just spritz on a spritz at a time and wipe straight off, only needs a few per panel, and you don't need to wait for it to dry etc. It will help to prolong the wax durability even further and add's a nice bit of extra bling to the finish.

The Collinite Marque D'Elegance is excellent wax, super durable and gives a lovely wet glossy look. I've only needed to apply it a couple of times since getting it before christmas, I reckon the tub will last a lifetime! They rave about it on the detailing forums too.
Check out this massively homo erotic beading vid i just found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz61O1172NM&feature=fvw
