This is true. On previous cars I have always used a carnuba wax and was pleased with the results although they were short lived.
I have a platinum graphite Z now and based on a friends recommendation tried Mcquire's NXT sealant. I liked the ease of application and removal and it seamed to last longer than the wax. But, on the graphite color, the gloss on it just didn't look as good. As NXTAZEE put it, the sealant was more of a candy shine than a deep wet look that I got with carnuba wax. So the last time I waxed it I layed on a coat of the NXT and then put on a layer of Mcquire's Gold Class carnuba wax. Laid both layers on by hand and removed with a random orbital buffer. The results were much more impressive. I got the deep wet gloss look that I was hoping for with this method and it wasn't really that much extra work.
