Which Carnauba wax should I use?

I have been polishing and sealing my car religiously with nothing but Zaino's from week 1. I have the full line up but I would like to venture into adding a carnauba wax to my line to get a much wetter look for daily use and car shows. I need recommendations for my AG. Money is no object but I want the best bang for my buck.

These are things I am looking for:

-Extreme wetness
-Easy to apply
-can be used over my Zaino's

I'd personally recommend Dodo Juice Supernatural. The shine and wetness from this product is incredible and would make a PG sparkle.

And it fulfills your requirements too... Extreme Wetness, Easy to apply/remove, & it can be applied over any sealant like Zaino.

I would suggest Migliore: Original. Blackjack and others can attest to the quality.

I can testify to that. Look at my photo album. The ones where my BO is shiny and looks like it is drippng wet was after waxing with Migliore Original.

I also like Natty's Blue.

Don is right. I can attest to Migliore... Migliore's is definitely a fine wax and I'd recommend consideration of this as well. I've used Migliore on my G37 (BO) and my parents G35 (IP) with great results.

I have not used Migliore on a silver car but have no doubts that it would perform exceptionally.

I've wanted to try the high end migliore, but haven't had the opportunity yet.

But check out the Dodojuice Supernatural

Keep in mind it was pretty overcast the day I took the shots.
Goto the full thread if you want to see the before/after pics (before with just Zaino and Blackhole - after with a layer of Supernatural)

So, I've never used was. I always use Zaino. So you put the wax on top of the Zaino? What does the wax so that all the Zaino stuff doesn't?

zaino typically lacks depth, warmth, and wetness of a carnauba.

My suggestion would be supernatural, or swissvax concourso

Exactly.....I use the entire lineup of Zaino but it is quite hard to get that extra wetness look on a silver car. It feels like butter after I detail and holds the shine for a long time but I want it to look super shiney like the BO's on here.

Yes, I layer the wax on top of the Zaino.

If you look at the thread you will see that the reflections are much clearer, and the car looks much wetter after the Zaino. Zaino is amazing to get a "black chrome" look but it doesn't have the depth.

I, also, have only been using Zaino, in several layers. When you put the wax on top of the Zaino, and then in a few weeks when I go to put on another layer or two of Zaino, is there anything I do to prepare the waxed surface prior to the Zaino? Have any of you had experience seeing how the Zaino will respond when placed over a layer of high quality wax?

A pre-wax cleaner?

Ben,

When performing a full detail you should always clay and polish/compound before putting on a sealant or wax.
