An awesome exterior waxing could be had from a small company called Zaino...I've used them in the past and they have awesome products and results...Here's a link to their website..

Any products from Meguiar's is good, like Gold Class wax (rain beads nicely) and Hot Shine tire spray (tire sidewalls have a glossy look for up to a week).

Mother's has good chrome polish and will make your bright work shine. It works great on tailpipe tips and any chrome-plated surfaces like the mirror frames and grilles.

If you want to keep your wheels clean and free of brake dust, then wash them regularly, maybe twice a month. If you do this and wax them periodically, then you will not need any wheel cleaners. Some wheel cleaners contain harsh compounds that will cut through dirt and brake dust, but they can also literally eat the finish off your alloy wheels.

Nissan also sells car care products that you may be interested in.

If youre like me, and are little bit lazy (esp. as my vehicle gets older) but love to have a clean polished truck, I would recommend Dri-Wash-N-Guard. I have used it for 8+ years on 3 different autos. It is basically a waterless carwash/polish all in one step. Did I mention I was lazy? ...lol..But the results IMHO, are very good. Plus no water = no drying or water spots...You simply spray it on, wipe to a haze, and then lightly buff with a terry towel. 

I admit that at first it is very hard to get used to the idea of spraying this on a dirty car and wiping on it w/o any water, but I have had great results for years with no scratch marks...Ofcourse I use common sense, if I have more than just road grime/dust..(ie mud caked to my fenders) then I will run it through a car wash and then polish it with this product. You can prolly find a distributor just by doin a Google search....keep on truckin!

Zymol is ok but Zaino Bros is the best wax that you can get IMO. Google "Zaino Bros"

Zymol is NO good.  Very hard to get off.  Pretty much the worst wax I've ever used. 

Meguires Gold Class is EXCELLENT for off the shelf wax.
