S100 (same as P21s) vs. Natty Blues vs. Meguiars NXT Tech Wax
These are the 3 waxes I am deciding between. Which one do you think is the best for a dark car (Twilight Blue)? Please consider price, ease of use, quantity, and durability.
Also, please recommend a good polish/prep. Right now I am thinking about Klasses AIO/HGL or a Meguiars Polish.
What are you favorite combinations?

well, you're comparing a store brand to two exclusive brands.
If you're looking for less expensive, easy to use, and gives an excellent shine, then the NXT for sure. It just wont have the durability that the other two more expensive waxes will. The all have their pro's and con's. I myself use NXT and love it on my IP.

I've used both NXT and Natty's Blue on my g/f's Dark Blue Scion TC.
Both products are very easy to apply. NXT has some cleaners and some fillers so minor imperfections will be covered a bit. Natty’s doesn't have any covering properties that I could tell.
Instead of the three items that you list for an LSP (last step product) your main concern should be on your paint preparation. What kind of condition is the paint in?
If it hasn't been polished before and since Twilight Blue is a very dark color it's almost safe to say that there are probably marks that will require an abrasive polish to correct. Remember to start with a mild polish and PC pad combination and move up on aggressiveness if needed to correct the blemishes you are attempting to remove.
I like the Optimum line of polishes. They work well with a PC and do not create dust like other products.
Klasse AIO is a better cleaner than polish. It won't remove much but can be used after polish to lay down a good base for your LSP.

Is this all the choices we get...........??
There are a whole bunch of choices on the market
and even though Meguiars makes good stuff it's not
what I would choose. For the past few years all I
use on my G or wifes Vet is Zymol products. I start
with the clay/lube, HD-Cleanse (pre-wax cleaner)
and finally Zymols Concourse wax applied by hand.
And I do mean by hand....you dab a small amount
on the palms of your hands....rub your hands
togeather to create heat and then apply the wax to
the surface. You can do 1/4 of the hood at a time
but as soon as you've applied the wax you remove
with microfiber towels. Then after it sits for an hour
you go over the car one more time to remove any
haze remaining.......I'll match my wax jobs against
anyones.......

There are plenty of polishes out there, plenty! I can suggest some that I used such as Optimum and Sonus but that doesn't even touch the surface of the selections available.
What supplies do you currently have? Do you own a PC or ever used one? Are you looking to do this just one time or do you plan on getting into having your car look its best always?
The questions are important because depending on what you want will depend on what the advice is. If you are looking to get into detailing your car I would start by visiting
www.autopia.org
and researching the site for the questions you have here.
If you don't have any of the products and are not looking to use them much in the future your best bet may be to have someone take care of the detail the first time. After you have a swirl free finish you will be able to practice better washing techniques to limit the swirls and can use glaze type products or products such as NXT with fillers to minimize the appearance of the marks you get afterwards.
Either way it would be wise to research a bit. I know I got into it and enjoy the hell out of it.
Good luck man!

Z-PC with yellow pad might do the trick for u
