To be honest, any decent wax or sealant will do. The key to a good shine is in the preparation of the paint surface i.e the polishing stage. Once you've polished out all the swirls and imperfections, the paintwork should shine all by itself. The wax or sealant simply protects the paint and seals in the shine.
There are a few products, such as Autoglym Super Resin Polish, that contain fillers to help disguise swirls etc, but these really need regular application to stay effective. Cliff

I'm a big fan of Poorboy's products! They used to make my E28 BMW come out like new after a good clean up It's worth going on google and searching for which of their polishes is best for your colour, and then shop around for it as the prices can vary massively!!! |

I use AutoGlym HD Wax after a good wash with AutoGlym Intensive Car Shampoo.
Well, that was more or less exactly 1 year ago and this is how it still looks: (I do follow-up with AutoGlym Rapid Detailer when needed). Sorry, not the greatest as all I have is my cellphone camera. Of course if you want that "Real" Wet-Look you can always do this: (LOL).... Sorry, couldn't resist.....

I can't see them... Let me try another browser..??
No, If I log out I can see them as usual - log in and all I see are the Links.... So obviously it's got something to do with my account - no surprise there....

I was always a big fan of Poorboys black hole, after a few coats of Super Resin polish, and a coat of Collinite 476S over the top.
This was how my 75 looked when I had it.
