Default Need a Good Nuba

I have found myself moving away from griots polishes/waxes/pads recenlty and I must say that Menzerna has become my favorite polish to use. Its so easy to use and im getting great results. But now I needa good wax to use. Anyone have any suggestions?

I hope at this point you're aware that a wax won't last as long as a good sealant, and that wax doesn't have a better or worse look than a sealant (its opinion) but rather looks a little different.

That being said - I love the look of Pinnacle Souveran as its very deep and warm looking on red cars (I love it on my MY04 NFR). Its also very creamy (easy on) and wipes off super easy even if left to set for hours and hours.
Other waxes I really like are Wolfgang Fusion (more like a sealant but with additional warmth), Dodo Juice Supernatural (very hard clean look - less warm more glossy that I love on black paint but is also nice on red), Dodo Juice Purple Haze (easy off, nice look, lower durability), Lusso Oro (much like Supernatural), and Wet Obsession (much like souveran).
Take into account the look I like might be the opposite of why someone else likes or dislikes a product. It'll depend on your personal opinion and what you want to get out of a product. I personally like waxes when I don't worry as much about durability (likely because I'll re-wax once a month or so).

Another thing to look into might be quick detailers like Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical, FK425, Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax, etc, etc.

How much money are you willing to spend on a tub? That consideration will impact our recommendations.

Check out this list of this list of best waxes and sealants.

My personal carnauba favorites: Souveran, Fuzion, Swissvax Best of Show, Harly Wax.

Just get P21S, its $30 and it is awesome. You can also get some Zaino, put 3 coats on, and then layer carnuba on top of that. It will give you carnuba shine and zaino protection. Its what I use, and I have used almost everything to figure out what works the best.

Yep, it's true. S100 = P21S at 1/2 the cost.
