Opinion's Please
I currently have Wolfgang Uber on the exterior and using Polish Angel to maintain. I'm thinking of buffing off the Uber and polishing with Polish Angel final polish and applying their Cosmic 2.
My question is what will give me the maximum shine and depth Only concerned with maximum shine, protection is not an issue.
Thanks..

Maximum shine with no concern regarding protection would be to polish to get to "bare paint" surface that is corrected perfectly, then apply a premium Carnauba Wax and top that with glaze.
No synthetic sealants or coatings can provide the shine and depth that Carnauba wax can.

I agree with RKJ427 in that polishing to bare paint is the basis for all shine. What I have done for years on dark color cars, especially black, is to seal with Wolfgang 3.0 and then use Pinnacle Souveran carnauba wax. Results in a deep wet shine. None of the new coatings can match the depth of a carnauba wax on a dark color. The coatings will give almost a plastic look which is very reflective but does not have that deep wet look. It is a personal choice as to the look you are going after and depends on the color of the car to some degree.
