Best sealant/wax to use by hand
I'm looking for recommendations for a good sealant or wax to use by hand - preferably less than $25.
I've been using Meguiars NXT Tech Wax (spray) and it works decently, but I'd like to find something that produces a deeper shine and wet look.
I don't have a buffer, so I need to do it the old fashioned way

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm kinda leaning towards Blackfire Wet Diamond (All Finish Sealant) since I've heard a lot of good things about it. I'm guessing that it works just as well if you apply it by hand vs. using a buffer?

Perfectly fine by hand, but much easier and faster via dual orbital and much more consistent coverage.

As you may know I'm a pretty big fan of the Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection. I have found it to be a bit more durable than the Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 and I love the gloss and depth it gives off.
For waxes there are so many outstanding choices. The Chemical Guys 50/50 Limited Series Concours Paste Wax and any of the Dodo Juice products are fantastic. The Poorboy's World Natty's Blue Paste Wax is probably my favorite choice for best value though, as this wax is much more affordable yet works extremely well.
Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help.

Certainly don't mean to highjack the thread but I too was looking for a product that easily applies by hand to remove light imperfections on the paint.
Color: Platinum Silver - good to very good condition just some light swirls visible under the right light and angle. Also have a few pin size oxidation spots on the hood (saw them after claying).
I was thinking of Klasse AIO, never used it and not sure if its what I need.
Thanks and again didn't mean to highjack.

Klasse, IMO, isn't as good since it was reformulated. Their sealant glaze isn't as easy to work with, and god forbid you let that dry on the car (don't ask me how I know).
I would stick with jet seal or wet diamond. Either one is only a one step process too, a bonus if you ask me.
