Default Best wax for "wet" look on red car?

The search function hasn't been working too well, so please bare with me as I am sure questions like this have been beaten to death.
I have been reading the stickys, and got a prety good idea of what to do, with all the prep work, etc, but can't decide on what wax to purchase to get a nice "wet" look on my red SS. Any advice is appreciated.Thanks

Zaino seems to be a pretty popular set of cleaners/polishes/waxes. i use meguiars gold class after a nice clay bar and carnouba treatment.

my problem is that i can get a good picture when its that clean, the car is too bright. lol

If I were going with a sealant it would be Zaino AIO/Zaino Z5 Pro/Zaino Z8.

If I were going with a carnauba it would be Clearkote RMG/Pinnacle Souveran/Clearkote Quik Shine.

+1 for Pinnacle

I've used a lot of their stuff on the Hawk and it looks great. The carnuba really gives it that "wet" look...

Yup another one for Pinnacle Souveran. It looks amazing on my bright red car.
