I am thinking of buying the klasse twins for cleaning and sealing because of recommendations here. I would like to cover with a carnuba to make it shine.

Which is the best and easiest to use of the $29 carnubas? I will be hand waxing

Max Wax
Pinnacle XMT 180 high gloss carnuba
Collinite 915
Megs Gold Class
Megs 26
Mothers Carnuba
Natty's

You didn't mention a color, but I have tried three on the list.

Natty's looks the best but short durability
Max Wax looks great and offers decent durability
Collinite is bulletproof.

Whatever you are looking for in a wax, but covering up the Klasse, I would suggest one of the first two. Just depends on how much nuba maintenance you want to do.

Collinite 915 looks great and out lasts all the others.

915 will probably outlast the others by 2-3x. It's an excellent wax. My only reservation is that is can produce nasty wax holograms if you layer Collinite paste waxes. If you're willing to just put one layer on and leave it, then 915 is for you.

915 looks good and lasts for a long time.

Souveran is my all time favorite, but I must say for the price MaxWax is an awesome nuba. It provides an excellent shine! I can't speak as to the durability because I am always waxing every few weeks. (Love to wax!!)Im the MAN

The OP clearly states that she will be using Klasse for sealing. She wants to top with a wax for SHINE. Carnaubas are not durable, generally speaking, so pick the one with the best shine.

Are some of you brain dead? The OP clearly states that she will be using Klasse for sealing. She wants to top with a wax for SHINE. Carnaubas are not durable, generally speaking, so pick the one with the best shine.
She can pick the one with the best shine. But I would think the durability is pertinent. If you were able to get 2 with equal shine wouldn't you pick the most durable? Also I was following the post for my own interests. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif A little extra info won't hurt her and it certainly helps me!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif

I don't think I'm brain dead... Have you ever used Collinite 915? Once you do, you won't ever make generalizations like that again.

Will any carnauba actually give more shine than the Klasse twins? Perhaps the OP should first wait until he sees what his car looks like when dressed in a coat or two of High Gloss Sealant before deciding to top it with a carnauba. Some folks prefer the sealant look.

I've always considered 915 part wax part sealant anyway, just like 476, it uses additional synthetic polymers to get its durability. Klasse SG is going to give a blistering shine to begin with, so if you throw a nuba on top that has "glossy" characteristics in the formula, I doubt you will see much difference at all. So in this case, Im not sure 915 is the best choice here. I would opt more for a warmer, wet looking nuba, if in fact the OP is trying to alter the final look.
