Do you want a pure carnauba wax, a sealant (synthetic wax), or a product with cleaners and polishes (AIO) in them ?? Heres a couple forum favorites.

Wax -- Pinnacle, Wolfgang, Poorboys, Dodo Juice, P21S
Sealants -- Rejex, Wolfgang, Four Star, Blackfire, Duragloss
AIO's -- Klasse, Poorboys, Optimum

I've used Wolfgang's sealant, which I like. I also have Pinnacle Souveran Carnuba, which I love. I've been thinking of using Collinite since a lot of people rave about its durability.

I just use good old-fashioned Turtle Wax hard shell liquid. It has always worked good for me

I have been useing DoDo Juice and really like it My buddy just did the Zaino treatment spent most of the day prepping and applying. He came by my house and saw my ride which was DoDo Juiced three weeks ago and he say's damn your paint looks and feels much slicker than my Zaino application.We both have SS Blue. I have used and I do like Zaino but this DoDo Juice is a great product. I may try the New DoDo Hybrid?

The new Supernatural Hybrid is quite nice and seems to be easier to apply and remove. I also highly suggest the Pro versions (Blue and Purple) as well as Hard Candy. This line is a hit and a little goes a long way and quite durable too. Best part they offer sampler kits for all the original versions and a great way to try them all.

I currently have and use the Pro Blue. I may try the Supernatural as I am on your site now. What would you recommend applying before the Supernatural as a base coat? Also which spray would I use after the Supernatural for highest shine? Sorry OP for cutting in but maybe this is to your interest? Thanks.

Just bought and used Zaino Z-5 Pro. It was no better than others that I have tried.

I still swear by Liquid Glass!

For a wax with awesome results you cant beat Admas Americana Paste Wax......

For a sealant I really like Meguiar's M21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0 or BFWD

Sorry I missed this ...

Supernatural can be its own base as its quite durable, or placed over a sealant as desired like Rejex. I would use the Dodo Spray, Red Juice Mist, as its delicious looking but highly concentrated.

Zaino products really go on very easy and come off very easy. Regardless of which product you choose,

Prep the Surface: The most important part of the entire process. It involves two parts, applying a compound type paint cleaner and clay barring.
