Best liquid carnuba wax for a deep wet shine

[Samson77]

My car is a black cherry color (dark, shade shifts between brown/purple/black).
I have a porter cable random orbital, and have used the wolfgang swirl kit it came with, which I 100% was NOT impressed with. I have every color of lake country 6.5 ccs pad.
I have been using a local detail shop carnuba wax, which is ok but not the wow me deep shine. I have multiple coats on the car now. I still have some swirls, more like sun halos really. What is the best carnuba wax for my car color and porter cable/pad set up?

Thank you very much

Before you start looking for a new wax, you need to get rid of those, as you call it "sun halos". Ninety percent of the final looks (shine) comes from polishing the paint and not the wax. Mike P has some good vids on polishing with a DA and probably on using the Wolfgang Kit. There is no magic bullet for swirl free paint.
BTW welcome to asylum.

You were not impressed since you didn't do the job well in preparing the finish....Wolfgang products are renowned here. You can glob all kinds of "Best" liquid carnauba wax on the surface to no avail. Once the surface is prepared correctly a $2.00 wax from Big Lot's would make it look like a million bucks. You're working backwards. Concentrate on getting the surface in the best shape you can first. No offence intended, sometimes blunt is the best suggestion.

Pretty much what everyone said. Remove your defects first. Wax only enhances what your finish already has.

prep properly ... then Liquid Souveran

If the finish is prepped correctly the paint will look wet before any wax is put on...

The Correction and polishing steps are extremely important.

The swirls should be gone after the correcting step so in the polishing step all you are doing is increasing the shine and enhancing the finish.

Then you put on the wax or sealant.....

As far as Nuba waxes go Megs M26 is very hard to beat...... Would have to spend some serious coin to get a wax that would beat it for looks.....

Then Also Wolfgang Fuzion and Pinnacle Souverän are also excellent, they are somewhat pricey though.

6.5" pads on the Porter Cable is your first problem. TSR & FG3.0 are EXCELLENT products when used correctly.

You need to look into MF pads, 5" LC Flat Pads, or LC Low Profile Hydrotech 5" Pads

I have every color of lake country 6.5 ccs pad.

I missed the 6.5" pads on the PC....

You really need to get a 5" backing plate and 5.5" LC Pads...

Get some Orange and White Flat pads (3 of each) and a Black Finishing pad.

Do you have the correct size counter weight for the 6.5 pads? If not, it won't spin worth a damn. There are 2 different counter weights for the PC7424. Might want to look into it.

Won't matter IME. Get the 5.5" pads.
