You will soon learn that sealants and waxs dont really affect the final outcome and look of the paint much.

I think Asphalt Rocket (Dana) said it best. A lsp is to protect all the hard work you've accomplished with polishing. Found an old post that Mike P posted about how a wax does not mute flakes. The wax cannot reach the flakes...what it is doing is muting the clear coat. Same holds true when someone says that this wax makes flakes pop. When in fact it is making the clear coat super reflective.

+2 on protection of the work

Clear coat super reflection to make flake pop is an interesting concept. If the CC becomes very reflective, would light pass to the flake or bounce off the CC?

Does the wax/sealant 1) make the CC super reflective to make the flake pop (more light scatter off the CC), 2) make the CC more clear so the flake is more visable (reduce CC reflection or perhaps apply a comb effect to make the CC less visible), or 3) make the CC look thicker so there appears to be more depth (bend or shift wavelengths) and the fleck seems imbedded in the thicker substrate?

My perception is nuba makes the paint seem more 3 dimensional (color or light shift) than most sealants (clear reflective) but that's a scientific wild ass guess (SWAG).

As far as which wax is best?

That's a question the tends to start "Wax Wars" on discussion forums.... I usually recommend that you do your research and then pick a couple you're most interested in and take them for a test drive and make up your own mind which wax is best...
