Best is very subjective.

It really comes down to what you want. You will get 300 different answers.

I like BFWD for darker colors and Collinite 845 on lighter colors.

Asking whats the "best" wax for shine is like asking whats the best motor oil for protection. There are too many variables...

You should be asking yourself "how can I maximize the shine on my paint" and thats by polishing out all imperfections. 90% prep work, 10% wax or sealant.

My personal vote would be Colli #845. Very durable, has a nice pop, and is easy to use when applied thin and properly.

At the dealership we use gap auto ... They plant they make all the product is a 2 hour drive Drôme they dealer and my rep is my old neighbor ..... The stuff is not all that good and way over priced imo ... Did force them to get a makita 9227c to replace the simoniz that used and get an extractor .... I'm trying to find a new company to supply the dealership. But can't find a full line up at a reasonable rate.

I agree colour is great I used it on silvers and whites on the past but used it all on my last vehicles

Ive concluded Fuzion is the best wax for you. You should get a tub. I think you'll like it.
