Top waxes for shine and reflection

Ok, so this site has made me an avid Meguiar's user. I clay, wash, and wax with Meguiars products. With that being said, I want something to top off my NXT. I like the look of NXT but I would like something to give it more shine and reflection. I am not dead set on it being a Meguiars product I just want to see what everyone thinks are the top finishing waxes with the most bling.

My vote would be #26, or Mother's Pure Carnuba.

On Arizona Beige -- which, I believe, is the color of your truck -- Collinite Insulator is one of my favorites. Also, Meguiar's #16. Also, Pinnacle Sovern.

Regardless... it's all in the eyes of the beholder. Everyone has a different opinion... it's like toliet paper... some like this, some like that. All an opinion.

I'm a #26 fan but NXT Paste is my new favorite for right now. Please note I said "Paste" wax. I've tried both and experienced completely different results with the paste taking a drastic lead.

I've used Mothers Pure Carnuba over the top of NXT before with excellent results.

You may get accidently luck at a place like NAPA or similar for the Meguiar's #16 -- it's a discontinued product though and is very tough to find. Just watched a tin of it go for over $30 on ebay... with that in mind, I'm thinking about selling off a little of my stash. LOL!

The others -- nope... going to have to order those.

Last week I clayed and waxed with NXT. Today I removed the black pinstripe from my truck and then clayed the pinstripe area to remove any residual glue, then I put on two coats of High Tech Yellow Wax (26 I believe). It looks pretty good I think. I just finished at dark, so I have no pics to post. I do have some slight ghosting, but I think a little time in the sun will have everything blending in together soon.
