On your own car, I'd suggest you invest in some GTechniq C5, which will easily outlast anything else quoted above.  It's not cheap (£28) but it is, by far, the best!  It will last 12 months+ with ease.

I plan on getting my wheels refurbed at some point and using some of the nanotech stuff. TBH not too impressed with the glass protection so am hoping this stuff will be better.

Can't recall the G version it is - it's the less durable one that is supposed to work at lower speeds.
