The only hand wax I use is the Meguiar's NXT Generation® Tech Wax® 2.0. Once I use something and like it, I really do not like to use other waxes. All the other waxes listed on this site, I have not ever used, fyi.

Here is one of the cars I've used it on.

On two cars...one is gold and the other a pearlescent cream, I used Griot's Carnauba Wax Stick topped with Griot's Best of Show Wax...a beautiful finish and slick as...well, you get the picture. On a car that's Torch Red, I use Griot's Wax Stick topped with Pinnacle Souveran...nothing better for that color in my experience.

On my family's daily drivers, I use Griot's Paint Sealant. It's mirror-like reflective and extraordinarily slick. For the fun cars I simply like the look a quality carnauba gives.

Of course, there are many quality waxes and sealants. Find what works best for you and be happy.

Now that I have tried them, the Swissvav waxes are amazing

FMJ is the slickest and best looking sealant I have ever used.

The slickest for me was Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0. Even slicker than Z-2. jmo

This is with proper prep though.

I find DG 105 is very slick.

To me, Z2 has never been the slickest. It just stayed beaded and stayed slick the longest. By a wide margin, I might add.

I'm curious, is it the wax that makes it slick or is it just as much the prep work; claying, polish, & sealant.

That is when I nice side by side comes in handy. Same surface, same prep, different LSP. I've noticed a difference in products when done this way.

Not intending to be a wiseguy, but this is such a subjective thing that you could get 100 different suggestions.

For me, the best wax/sealant is the one I am using this month, but.....
That may not be the one I use next month.
It also might not be the one I was using last month.

After you get all the suggestions, just pick one and go with it.
Chances are that with proper prep, whatever product you choose will look great.
