Collinite 476 Paste
 
Is the car garaged? How often are you able to wax it?

You will want to polish your car so it will look its best. You could throw a thousand dollar wax on it and it you couldn't tell a difference between that and a less expensive one.

So first make sure the paint properly prepped and go from there.
 
After I have "prepped" Corvettes to the level that meets my expectations;
and, if I'm going to apply a "carnuba-wax product"---whether it's in paste or liquid forms:

#1:
Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Paste Wax is carnauba paste car wax with polymer additives for maximum longevity. Meguiars #26 High Tech Paste Car Wax is great ($16.00)

This is a good one also:
3M Perfect It Show Car Paste Wax, 3m 39526, creates an ultra high gloss finish, with long-lasting protection! ($18.00)

So's this:
S100 Carnauba Wax is a hand-poured blend of German waxes, proprietary ingredients and pure Brazilian Carnauba wax. motorcycle wax, bike wax, s100 ($16.00)

And this one, too:
Collinite Marque D’Elegance Carnauba Paste Wax #915, car wax, paste auto wax ($32.00)<<<<Kind of expensive, IMO.


^^^^Just suggestions^^^^.
(And that's four(4) "carnuba-waxes"...for about $99.00...
To begin the: Waxing-Eloquently-Quest.)

-I'm going to have to ask:
Why are you not interested in liquid carnubas?

-Whichever "carnuba wax product" you do decide to purchase/use,
would you mind to keep us advised of your preference's performance? Thanks.

Collinite 915 is great value for money - looks better than its 476 and 845 brethren, lasts nearly as long as 476 (longer than 845), and just $30 for a 12 oz can. Might also be worth considering some of the Dodo waxes such as Blue Velvet Pro and Rainforest Rub, or CG 50/50 (have these as well, haven't used them yet though - but read good things about them).
