    Recommend me a good carnauba wax

    Hey guys. Looking to make my first step into something a little higher end than your typical mothers/turtlewax/meguiars offerings without breaking the bank. I've been doing some research but I've been a little overwhelmed by all the options. Currently leaning towards something along the lines of natty's blue or p21s concours but I'm open to suggestions. The car as it sits has been clayed, compounded with meg's ultimate compound using a da orbital, and sealed with wolfgang deep gloss sealant. I'd like to add something on top to give it that final pop. Durability isn't a huge concern as the car is always garaged and very rarely driven in the rain. Here are a couple pics to give you an idea of what I am working with. It's a dark blue/green metallic colour that appears almost black in the shade but much lighter when the sun hits it.

    Thanks

    Natty's blue is awesome! Great depth and shine and super easy to use. Best overall wax I've ever used

    I've tried a lot of waxes, and there are many very good ones below $40.

    P21S Blue Cap

    Pros: very easy to use. Buttery. Looks excellent. Slick. Can get the S100 version for like 20 bucks. Comes with an applicator.
    Cons: not super long lasting

    Nattys Blue

    Pros: Cheap, easy to use. Can actually see it haze on black paint.
    Cons: container sucks.

    Collinite 915

    Pros: lasts a very long time. Pretty easy to use. Crazy beading
    Cons: none really. Need a screwdriver to open container.

    You'd be hard pressed to be disappointed with any of these:
    Wolfgang Fusion
    Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax
    Collinite 476 or Marque d' Elegance

    Hi, welcome to AutoGeekOnline! Nice looking Porsche.

    As you have sealed it with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, I would add with Wolfgang Fuzion or Pinnacle Souveran on top. You can get either version in smaller sizes to try out.


    Wolfgang Fuzion Estate Car Wax contains real carnauba wax and paint sealant polymers to protect paint. ultimate show car wax, auto wax, paste wax,

    Natty's Blue is some pretty good wax! I have a jar and I also have the Natty's Red. Both are excellent waxes. I would also consider Natty's Red. IMO ever so slightly better than the Blue. One positive for both....NO GHOSTING or HAZING from the Sun!

    I have P21S too it is a great wax. Same as above with the Blue and Red.

    My guess you can't go wrong with either and you will be happy with whatever wax you choose. Add the Natty's Red too!!

    Re: Recommend me a good carnauba wax

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. The collinite products (476 and 845) look to have great reviews but they seem to be marketed heavily based on their sealant like properties. I already have the wolfgang sealant so they seem somewhat redundant? Still kinda leaning towards the natty's because of the price. I can't really justify spending all that money on fuzion, souveran et al.

    Regarding red vs blue, blue is supposed to be better for darker colors, correct? So I would be better off with the blue? Do both of them play well with metallics?
