I was wondering what people are using for wax on the Crystal Pearl White Colour.
I hear P21S Concours Look Carnauba Paste Wax is great all around and that Poor Boys Natty's Blue is highly recommended for darker vehicles but I was wondering if anyone has any experience in applying different waxes for this colour of vehicle?

both of these threads without much luck in helping me determine which one to buy.
This liquid souveran sounds great but its a bit outside of the price range I would like to spend.
Thanks.

You sent me a PM but I will just reply here:
Chris @ eshine.ca (http://www.eshine.ca) recommended Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant for my colour. It's super easy to work with and leaves a brilliant, very slick finish. It also lasts a long time.
I bought the Deep Gloss Total Concours kit and all the products are excellent.

I'll 2nd the advice from Chris at eshine. Paint Sealant is the way to go. Much easier to put on and take off. If you really want the Carnuba durability, put it over a coat of the paint sealer for an extra long lasting shine which lasts twice as long.

I use sealants like Optimum Opti-Seal. I love Opti-Seal because its VERY VERY VERY easy to apply, and the bottle will last you a reallllllly long time. Heck, I've had my bottle for a year, and with all the cars I do, I've only gone through 1/8th of a bottle. It is money very well spent, and the more you layer it, the better it looks. Just check out Mazda3X2's CWP MS3 I did a while ago and see for yourself, the finish is beautiful!

Chris has excellent knowledge about his products too and he doesn't feed you nonsense just to try and make a sale.

Wow so this stuff just just spreads like a raindrop beading on a waxed car once you drop it on?

Good feedback.
Wax:
White: Optimum Opti-Seal, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
Has anyone just gone with Klasse Sealer Glaze? I was thinking of topping it with some sort of wax or other product but I'm leaning towards the Opti-Seal but I'm thinking it may be redundant if I do KSG and Opti-Seal.

I'd just stick with multiple coats of the same sealer rather than using sealer from two different manufacturers.

I've used KSG as well. I find it gives more of a hard look, rather than a wet look. Depending on the colour you may or may not like it. For me. I prefer to use Opti-Seal on CWP.
You can top a synthetic sealant with a wax, but it has to be a wax with no cleaners (NXT, EagleOne, etc)
What about Mothers Carnuba wax? They have a three step system with a cleaner, sealer and the wax. I haven't used it myself but it was recommended to me by a co-worker, he uses it on his car and its VERY shiny. Any of you guys used tried this?
