Any of the top brands will do a great job. A forum vendor is Adams. Checkout his products. I have been using his Americana wax for years on my Monterey Red '07.

Well i'll give my usual response to the "which wax is best" thread. Give me a black hood and put a piece of tape down the middle and i'll use a $200 bottle of wax on one side....and i'll use a good quality $15- $20 wax on the other. And doubt anyone could tell the difference from 10 feet away.....and maybe even only 3 feet.......

Here is what I do, upon my semi annual buffing I seal with Wolfgang 3.0 sealer and then wait 24 hours then wax with Wolfgang Fuzion and do this monthly. Sealing takes 30 mins and same for waxing

This summer while having the car in a show and shine a made a purchase from an Adams products rep at the show. I purchased the long stroke Swirl killer polisher and a bunch of Adams products. I spent about 5 hours with the polisher using Adams Finishing Polish followed by Mothers Pure California Gold Carnauba wax. I had 1/2 bottle of the Mothers left over so I used it instead of the Adams. I would have preferred to use Adams Patriot wax but the cost was a bit much $$$$. I ended the car show season with a trophy for Best C6 convertible in a car show.

I doubt any of the $200 waxes work as well as this on Orange, Black and Red Corvette C6's
