My roomate uses the nano wax on his black car and likes it a lot. it does look great, but I think I've found two waxes that are even better.
my method is similar to Mike's, but with different products.
- wash with dishsoap (I only do this once a year, before a major detail)
- claybar
- Meguiar's deep crystal paint cleaner
- meguiar's deep crystal polish

World's Best Wax is a carried and sold by a local high end detail shop that deals with lambos, Ferraris and the like. at $80 a jar it's super expensive, I got a great deal at a trades show for a small container. at 46% carnauba content by volume, it's some of the highest on the market. it shines very deeply but doesn't last more than a month. fortunately it goes on and off like butter, and you don't need much for each application.
I've heard meguiar's products have high solvent and water content and aren't the best, but they've been working great for me and are readily available.
Results:
Meguiar's NXT tech wax is my second favourite, and favourite synthetic wax. I topcoat the carnauba wax with it after it's had a day to cure, makes it last much longer and adds more reflection to the deepness. anymore wax than two coats is a waste, as the paint can't retain anymore. A coat of the NXT wax lasts me nearly all summer and gives a great shine.
