There is no "best" wax. It all comes down to personal preference.

With proper prep work (claying, polishing defects, etc.), any wax/sealant will look good.

Poorboys Natty's blue looks real good on dark colored cars.

NXT is good, it just only lasts for 3 days! I just take mine to a detailer and it lasts a few months.

It depends on what you can get your hands on. There isn't really an absolute best, because other factors weigh in on how good your car can achieve a great finish (such as cost, prep work...a prerequisite, and how your color takes to a finish media).

But to make it short, if you can get your hands either Pinnacle Souveran, P21S, Zymol Carbon (my personal recommend), or PB Natty's Blue, then your finish should be in great shape with good prep done first. If you can't get any of those, then try to pick up a Meguiars or Mother's pure carnauba wax.

When you have the time, experiment with a few brands (esp. those brands I mentioned), and determine for yourself which one does the job the best for you.

Megs yellow tech wax makes my cayenne red glow for a about a month. its still sheets off water but the car doesn't look as polished. not bad for an off-the shelf wax
