The best one is the one you use. You can buy them all but if they collect dust in the corner they are worthless

Why Meguiar's Carnauba of course! Great price, nothing fancy.

Using it for years.

My recently purchased torch red 01 had noticeable swirl marks which were corrected nicely by Ziano. That being said I've also had fantastic results with many other products on my '82 over the years. Griots Garage has some nice products that I've been using on my DDs.

You would have to post the Vin number of your 2003 C5 since there was a mid year model wax revision. Be careful not to use the wrong wax here. Early builds require early processed waxes and polishes, later models can use either since all waxes are backwards compatible.. check the manufacturing process date on the wax or polish before purchase.

I use RejeX. It's a polymer base product that resists almost everything. Used Ziano in the past and in my opinion is just as good.
