I am thinking of buying the klasse twins for cleaning and sealing because of recommendations here. I would like to cover with a carnuba to make it shine.

Which is the best and easiest to use of the $29 carnubas? I will be hand waxing

Max Wax
Pinnacle XMT 180 high gloss carnuba
Collinite 915
Megs Gold Class
Megs 26
Mothers Carnuba
Natty's

You didn't mention a color, but I have tried three on the list.

Natty's looks the best but short durability
Max Wax looks great and offers decent durability
Collinite is bulletproof.

Whatever you are looking for in a wax, but covering up the Klasse, I would suggest one of the first two. Just depends on how much nuba maintenance you want to do.
 
915 will probably outlast the others by 2-3x. It's an excellent wax. My only reservation is that is can produce nasty wax holograms if you layer Collinite paste waxes. If you're willing to just put one layer on and leave it, then 915 is for you.
 
Souveran is my all time favorite, but I must say for the price MaxWax is an awesome nuba. It provides an excellent shine! I can't speak as to the durability because I am always waxing every few weeks. (Love to wax!!)Im the MAN
 
The OP clearly states that she will be using Klasse for sealing. She wants to top with a wax for SHINE. Carnaubas are not durable, generally speaking, so pick the one with the best shine.

She can pick the one with the best shine. But I would think the durability is pertinent. If you were able to get 2 with equal shine wouldn't you pick the most durable? Also I was following the post for my own interests.

A little extra info won't hurt her and it certainly helps me!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I don't think I'm brain dead... Have you ever used Collinite 915? Once you do, you won't ever make generalizations like that again.
 
Will any carnauba actually give more shine than the Klasse twins? Perhaps the OP should first wait until he sees what his car looks like when dressed in a coat or two of High Gloss Sealant before deciding to top it with a carnauba. Some folks prefer the sealant look.
 
I've always considered 915 part wax part sealant anyway, just like 476, it uses additional synthetic polymers to get its durability. Klasse SG is going to give a blistering shine to begin with, so if you throw a nuba on top that has "glossy" characteristics in the formula, I doubt you will see much difference at all. So in this case, Im not sure 915 is the best choice here. I would opt more for a warmer, wet looking nuba, if in fact the OP is trying to alter the final look.

No I am not brain dead, are you? Why not use a wax that gives a great shine and durability? Properly prepped paint is the key to a good finish and the LSP does little but lock in that finish. So I still stand by Collinite 915 for the best wax for the money.:xyxthumbs:

Is 845 better than 915? I hear that Max Wax goes on quite easily, but I have bad memories of paste waxes that wouldn't come off when dry.

I know from experience that MaxWax goes on and comes off just like butter! I use some quite expensive botique waxes and I can say MaxWax is awesome! (especially for only $30.00). Trust me if you are concened about removal when dry, worry no more w/MaxWax:props:

845 is a good product indeed, but throwing it over Klasse SG isn't going to accomplish much of anything. 845 has a wax label but in reality it's a sealant.
