I just purchased a new Honda in obsidian blue pearl.wow I can now see this color will be as tough as black. I don’t want to go through the amount of polishing and correction that I had with a previous black car. I clayed and polished it yesterday and I still see some light scratcrs. I don’t want my OCD to get the best of me. What Carnauba wax would be best to use to hide these the best. Poor boys blue polish with Carnauba? Collinite 845? Any suggestions?

I think all waxes do a decent jobs of filling very light scratches. Those two waxes are highly rated. I love Natty’s Red and it fills nicely. Can’t go wrong with PB’s.

What about CarPro Essence and then put your wax over it.

Already used AIO .... HD speed . Looking for wax to use every month or so to hide scratches.

I know meguiars ultimate liquid wax fills. So does their ultimate spray wax. You could use the liquid wax every few months and the spray wax after every wash or two. That said I dont really use dedicated waxes much any more. I usually just apply HD speed by machine like I would a wax every so often. It's not any extra work and you're actually correcting a bit instead of just filling. Then I just use D156 (ultimate spray wax) every other wash and I'm always protected.

Prima Banana Gloss is one wax that really fills and hides well. It looks great and is sooo easy to use. Only last about 6 weeks tho. I would definitely say that’s the best wax for your situation.

•IMO:
-Finish Kare 2685 Paste Wax (a polymer
carnauba wax) does a real good job at
hiding light paint swirls/scratches, while
also providing great paint protection.

{I’ve even “layered” this product when
I wanted even more concealment of
light paint blemishes.}

•Nearly a life-time supply (at least for
the rest of my life): 15oz. @$17.99...

I find it to fill very fine swirls. 476 even more so.
