What is the best car wax out there?
 
I want to know the best paste car wax out there that will make my car really shiny. I have a 2011 base pearl white 370z.

Read up on what really makes the car shine first. Any wax is just their to enhance and protect the shine/paint. If money is no object, go with Swissvax...or Adam's Americana, if you're looking for something better than the store bought stuff but more reasonably priced. Like I said though, learn some stuff about polishing the paint first. Plenty of info here.

Yep, like Mike mentioned- wax is for protection, not shine.

I would personally suggest using a sealant first, then waxing. The sealant will give you that shine you're looking for. I personally like this:

Amazon.com: Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant: Automotive

I really like the looks of sealants on white. The others that posted above that polishing and prepping the paint for the wax/sealant is the main thing that will make your paint pop. As for protecting the paint I use collinite 476S if i'm using a wax or I use 4star ultimate paint protectant. I am starting to look into the opti-coat, cquartz and the most interesting permanent sealant 22ple! expensive but the results are awesome.

Can you use the sealant with your hands instead of a machine?

Will the sealant mess up the paint in the long run?

Like I said, the wax only enhances the shine. Here's the thread when I tried Swissvax Onyx.

Yes, Sealants are the protectant after you polish the paint. They are applied by hand and not by machine. The machine part is used during the polishing the paint phase.

not at all! they last about 8 months. Very easy to apply and have more of a sterile mirror look to them vs traditional waxes.

You HAVE to prep the paint before you apply the wax/sealants. This is mandatory. The best wax in the world will look like *** on a paint that isnt prepped correctly. This is the start of the never ending cycle of perfection lol.

I personally use and recommend Dodo Supernatural, and Supernatural Hybrid. They give a great shine, and make the car look super wet. I am an auto mobile lover and I often visit Remanufactured Automotive Engines - Car/Truck Crate Motors (Big/Small Long Blocks) it’s one of the most useful resources I have ever visited. If you too an automobile lover I suggest you to check out their link.

Very, very subjective question. Parallels the "what is the best oil" question.

My choice is Meguiers nxt.
