Most have gone to a ceramic and ditched the wax.

Used Mothers Reflections wax and Reflections Top Coat in the past. Synthetic products that really performed well. Recently tried finding them and it appears they’re no longer available.
Going to try Meguiar’s Ultimate Liquid Wax. Open to suggestions and recommendations! While I’m at it, recommendations on a quick detail product?

Nu Finish. It came out better than Adams, Meguiars and Mothers.
$8 at Walmart.

Just tried this a few days ago when it warned up a bit: Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. Pretty good result IMO

I have been using this product for years and like it. What I like most is that it does not turn black rubber trim white so I don't have to mask off those areas.

I tried the Meguires ceramic spay wax and like it, but I still wax every few weeks with Griots best of show paste wax, also like the Megures NXT 2.0

on the c6 i did full paint correction and sealed with opti-gloss.
when i did a dawn wash on my c7 before waxing it one weekend, it still beaded up... led me to believe the previous owner sealed it with something. went ahead and laid down a coat of Einszett Glanz

Let's just be honest. There will be 100 different "best" listed here only because it is best for that individual which means there is no such thing as best.
