What wax you use has far less impact on the condition of your paint than the quality of your prep process. Put a $300 wax on an oxidised or swirled car and it will still look swirled or oxidised. But put a $30 wax on a well prepped car and the results will be amazing.

Remember, waxes and sealants are just the protective layer - yes, they can add gloss or warmth or depth - but they are just the finishing step.

Having said that, what looks good on one colour may not look so flash on another. Durability, ease of application and budget also come into it.

AND FOR A PROPER ANSWER......use Carnauba Wax, Mothers make a good one that comes in a 3 Step application, or if you dont need the 3 Steps use just the wax, available in all auto shops like Repco etc.

Actually read again and then go to Repco and look what the 3 Steps for the Mother wax is.

Its an answer to his question, not the BS left by the other "life coach", which didnt answer his questrion just ranted off on a tangent.
