Best wax for red?

I have a red coupe, and was wondering what wax would give me the best shine and depth. I am looking into getting Zaino package, there is so much stuff that I don't think that i would need. Pics would be nice. Thanks in advance.

dude. go try NXT first. see the results, and if you dont like it, then move on to Zaino. you might be happy with NXT than just spending all the money on Zaino. i love NXT and i use it on my black sedan. its awesome dude.

If it is a daily driver and sits outside most of the day, I would go with Zaino. After polishing, Z2 Pro w/ ZFX is really the minimum you would need. The Z8 helps as well. I use the Zaino on my strickly daily drivers.

If it is a daily driver that you don't mind caring for a bit more, I would go with something like Poorboy's EX or EX-P. It has good durability and leaves a GREAT non-sterile shine. If you want to warm up the look a bit more, a carnuba final coat would help some as well. Pinnacle or Natty's Blue are my favorites. I use this one my G.

For my pure toy cars, I use just the carnuba.

Are you looking for something very durable and protective or something more for just shine and not so much protection? Depends on what your after as to what works best for you.

If you want a great shine with fantastic protection and durability, Zaino is the way to go. You could always start with a basic package to see if it's for you and then order more as needed. A basic kit might be ZFX, Z2PRO or Z5, Z6, and Z7.

If you are just looking for a great shine and are less concerned with protection, try Souveran, Natty's Blue, or S100.

Menzerna FMJ w/P21S Carnauba Wax looks AMAZING. The Menzerna FMJ gives the paint amazing protection, shine and super easy to apply and remove. I can do one whole coat by hand in about 45 minutes. The best part is I use less than 1oz per use so its actually a relatively good value. Then I top it with the P21S Carnauba Wax for really deep and glossy appearance that really catches the eye. Again another product that super easy to apply and remove and you use so little of each time you apply it. I would estimate I get 20+ uses from the jar.
