Chemical Guys Jet Seal 109 and Chemical Guys 5050 killer combo. Since you're in Socal head up to their Inglewood showroom on a Saturday tell Paul (the owner) Nick from Irvine Ace Hardware sent you and he will hook you up. Let me know before you go and maybe ill cruise up with you.

I just finished using turtle wax's black box. It's pretty good. I'm surprised no one has mentioned P21.

I've been using Poorboys World products and have been very happy. With my white STi I would use white diamond glaze topped with the EX-Sealant. With my moro blue A4 I use black hole glaze topped with Natty's Paste wax blue.
Very reasonable prices with great results.

Glanz makes metallic paints pop however i was disapointed in the longevity of it with how much lasting protection they say it should give.

Meguiars Gold Class
Dont use nxt then....cause you would get rid of the gold asap....no comparison in the final results among them...
Gold Class has a lot of carnauba in it, however nxt gives a more wet result...actually much more wet...

I've used both and and have to firmly disagree. Not only is Gold Class shinier and wetter looking, but it also lasts a HELL of a lot longer.

Seems like on my colour i get the exactly different results...the car seems almost wet with NxT latest generation, whereas with the Gold one it just enhances the cars colour naturally not adding the same depth though as NxT...
I sometimes use gold class, so as not to waste it, and then some NxT on top of it...
However none of them can reach my #20 Polymer Sealant, nor the #26 one....They are from the Pro Series....

Look into swissvax shield. though it is pricey, it has PTFE (Teflon) water sheets off and its carnuba based, so when it cures, its technically as hard as concrete. It is worth the investment, since you can use it on this car or any car you have in the future. Carnuba waxes are my favorite for look and protection, but they need to be reapplied every 6 to 8 months on average.
Look into Chemical Guy's Line of Waxes (Pete's 53, 5050 limited) or Rubbish Boys Original Edition (a handmade wax, that is made in small batches, and it ranks up there with the high dollar waxes at a very affordable price).
I've used Shield and love it. I was able to score a pot of Swissvax Crystal Rock for half the price (normally goes for $1100 bucks) <**--yes thats right, but i'm a detailer on the side, and use it for my high profile clientele also.
Also, look into Collinites line of auto waxes....they are tough and cheap, and last. They don't have the deepest gloss or wetness to the look, but they are great protectant waxes.
These waxes are far superior to the waxes/sealant you can get over the counter at your local auto parts stores.
