    Best Wax for this Color?

    So I'm looking into switching from synthetic to a Carnauba based wax (Or the hybrid ones, I'm not sure whats best for me).

    Anyways, the car that I am detailing is my 2004 Mazda RX8, and the color is Lightning Yellow. I am going to be attaching some pictures of the car below as well, but for reference, the overall condition of the car is pretty good - There is no oxidization, clear coat stripping or anything of the sorts.

    I am wanting to know which type of wax is best for this particular color? I am a big fan of hand-waxing (I generally wash, clay-bar, polish, then wax), and would like to stick to that even if it means a little bit more work involved.

    First off, though, let me say these things:

    I am fine with Carbauna wax not lasting forever. The 6 weeks is fine
    Money is not a huge issue, to some extent. I'm willing to dorp a bit of money for my car!

    So, saying that - I am looking for something that will really 'pop' the yellow. I have tried many different shelf brands (Meguairs synthetic, etc), but have no luck finding something that really makes the color of the car deepen and pop.

    I looked on the AutoGeek site, and couldn't seem to find one that is particularly good on yellow / lighter color cars. Anyone with any advice on a good wax product, procedure, or just general advice, all would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    DoDo Juice Banana Armour would be a good carnuba wax for that color. Great for reds/yellows.

    I would tryout Wolfgang Fuzion; you can get it in the smaller size, 3oz I think. If you want to try a few that are cheap yet will really work, try anything from Collinite. 845 is always a recommendation, and they have some higher end wax as well.

    I would look through the Dodo Juice line for a color like that.

    Meg's 26 is also a good choice. Nice show car wax, inexpensive, easy on and off.

    I'd hit it with some DG #111 and call it a day, well as an LSP, before hand some DG #501 w/ 601 and then finish with #111, make that yellow POP!
