    Re: Best Carnauba wax for shine/gloss red car !

    You don’t say where you’re at, but if you’re in any type of sunny climate, I would forgo carNuba and put it on the sealant of some sort. It’ll last much longer, it has exactly the same or better gloss, and it’s a bit easier to apply. CarNuba down here in Florida last weeks during our summers, I don’t know anybody that uses it anymore. Wolfgang deep gloss sealant is a favorite here or a new player: 303 graphene spray sealant. My single 303 application is going on 4 months and it still looks brand new. Beads like crazy

    I just waxed my dad's brand new Jeep with Collinite 476. It ought to last a few months even here in FL. Looks great on maroon.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    Re: Best Carnauba wax for shine/gloss red car !

    I'd suggest something a little different. Since you already have a Meguiar's sealant on the car, I always prefer to keep it within the same family. Meguiar's #26 Yellow Wax would be my choice. This stuff makes a red vehicle absolutely glow. I used to use this on my red Focus ST and yellow Mustang all the time. Easily one of my favorite carnauba waxes out there.

    Pinnacle would be my choice as well but as already stated, very perishable

    I'm enjoying Collinite 915 topped with DG Aquawax. The exact wet deep look I was after.

    Sorry for indoor shots (all I have at the moment).

    I agree with this, Fuzion will look amazing and net you more durability.

    Whatever you choose, and I would throw Meguiar's 26 into the mix, I don't think you will find any additional gloss or brilliance over the Meg's Ultimate you already have. What you will find is a deep warm glow.

    Both looks have their own appeal but if it's absolute gloss that you're looking for I don't think you're going to find it... Meg's Ultimate is already pretty good in that respect.

    To the OP: Like others have mentioned, if you want durability then go with a Collinite product.



    845 (liquid) is extremely easy to use, and under most conditions will easily last 6 months. You can apply it to the entire vehicle, and wait as long as you want to remove it.

    476s (paste) is easy to use, but you must be mindful of only applying it to a small section at a time, let it sit no more than 1-2 minutes, then immediately remove it. If you let 476 sit too long, you will be in a world of hurt.

    However, you can expect it to last anywhere from 9-12 months.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
