I just clayed, polished and coated my C6 vert with Meguiars Ultimate liquid wax. I'm very happy that it performed as advertised and didn't leave white marks on the black plastic.
I'm just wondering how I can get the ultimate show car shine? I've read that some people layer Carnuba wax over the sealant but it appears on the Meguiars site they don't recommend layering.
What are the thoughts of the "waxers" on this site?

Topping is completely personal and usually suggested for having longer protection (sealant) and still have the wet look a wax offers. For the ultimate shine, you should polish paint first in several steps to amp up gloss and reflection, and also removing imperfections. Then you can add any wax or sealant to protect the ultimate look.

Thanks. So the sealant/wax doesn't do much to for the shine?

Remember too that if sealant is applied first then followed with the wax that another layer of sealant will not work over the wax. One would have to start over to put down a sealant a layer. The wax would have to be removed before applying a sealant.

If protection is foremost and using a sealant just stay with repeated coats of the sealant.

The wax though can add a warmer glow depending.

The clearness of the paint finish will give the deepest reflection.

Also Carnauba wax

perhaps a small difference, but polishing will provide best results.

Also note 'nuba waxes are often considered wetter looking. Synthetic sealants and coatings use gloss to replicate the look.

If you are looking for some good looking waxes consider Pinnacle. If you are willing to try a spray consider Optimum Spray Wax or Prima Hydro Max .... they look great and don't take a lot of time to apply.
