This question is like asking which condom protects the best or which soft drink has the best taste...

In a nutshell, there are literally HUNDREDS of FANTASTIC wax products on the market. While some are fairly easily obtained (i.e. on the shelf at your local 'mart' or big box auto parts store) some aren't (i.e. order online or even have to know the right people to get your paws on it (bath tub blenders)).

What I'm saying is that you should read through the posts here and elsewhere on the web. From there, you'll get a better grip on what might work out well for you.

The question that you've asked is far too subjective.

I found this (below) on obsessed, compulsive, detailer web-site. I find their web-site as very useful, particularly in reference to hands on experience to include what products works best, (i.e.) below.



Liquid Souveran:

Now this is some good stuff. Liquid Souveran is probably the finest liquid wax that I have ever used. I used to think that it didn’t get better than Meguiar’s Gold Class liquid wax. Then one day I got the opportunity to trade another product for a bottle of Liquid Souveran. Man, am I ever glad I made that trade. The reflections and depth that this product puts on the car is really impressive. It was one of the first products that I used that actually helped me get reflections on my white car in direct sun. Its no trick to get reflections on a black car or any other color if its in the shade, but white is just not the color to get if you want reflections. I got them with Liquid Souveran. Below is a picture of my car in direct sunlight reflecting the hose on the driveway. That may not seem too impressive, but its the first product that I have used that got me a reflection like that in direct sunlight. White usually just gets bright in the sun and doesn’t reflect anything.

I'm gonna say Zaino. Top notch stuff right there.

I like the NXT but noticed it does not last very long at all. I used it on my bike and it needed another coat in just a few weeks.

Pinnacle Souveran that comes in the jar is a lot better than NXT. The liquid version is probably about the same as NXT.

Personally, I think the best shine is Zaino. Of course Zaino is a sealant, not a wax.

Big fan of NXT, my wife works for an autoparts store and the staff swear by it.
