Meguiars gold class is **** for that. You can also find their professional series yellow wax for a few bucks more and that's almost godly for store bought waxes. I've had good results with both.

Search for NXT 2.0 and look for my posts. You will see some good results.

I have done this combo on the last few cars. It is labor intensive but results are nothing short of spectacular.

1st Layer: Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze
2nd Layer: Meg's NXT 2.0 Tech Wax
3rd Layer: Meg's #26 Hi-tech Yellow Wax
4th Layer: Meg' Ultimate Quick Wax

I just did a '97 Green Metallic Firebird Formula and the befores and afters are just sick. I will throw them up when I get home. His camera shows the best of the car and the wax.

Second the NXT stuff from Mequires. I used this last week on the BMW as I ran out of Zaino and WOW, it does a pretty damn good job. Gonna give it a shot on the bird later this year when she needs a wash/wax again.

Mothers Reflections/FX and Meguiar's NXT 2.0 or M26 are all pretty good OTC products.

I prefer Mother's 100% Carnauba Wax for the final shine. Incredible! I threw out my Meguiar's Gold once I used this stuff. I tried to find a decent Trans Am photo with the Mother's but nothing compares to this shot of my '95 911 taken at an Atlanta show last year just after the Mother's application. It is original paint now 15 years old. Mother's for the win!

I've been using Zaino Z5, Zaino Z2 and then Meguiars Gold Class lately. Been pretty impressed with it.
