    Re: Wax question.

    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.

    Re: Wax question.

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