Carnuba, pinnacle souveran all the way . However you don't have to choose, you can have the best of both worlds. One of the best kept secrets is the forum favorite kit at autogeek. Klasse AIO, SG, Souveran, and CM for under $100. GRT deal when you consider Souveran by itself is $60. This is the way to have it all...

Synthetic for everyday driver and carnuba for garage queens But I do use AIO and SG on my wheels and hood to protect from heat and evaporation.

Depends on the car and the driver. For a wet look carnauba, for a lasting look synthetic...

SVR has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I'm the same. 3M Synthetic and weekly or fortnightly with liquid carnuba wax

I'll let my signature answer on my behalf....

EDIT

Synthetic ( Klasse twins ) then carnauba ( S100 )
