Sonax Nanotechnology Liquid Wax looks great on dark colors.

Does Duraglass 105 tend to darken the paint?

Meg`s NXT topped with M26 Carnuba is great on dark colors and is quite inexpensive.

I recommend using Zaino Z5 ($16.95):
Z-5 PRO Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches: Zaino Store (http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-5&Category_Code=Zaino&Product_Count=8)

Practice with paste waxes! ;)
ClearKote CMW (wet!), Collinite 845 (bright), Meg`s #26 Paste (dark, rich, wet), OCW (bright, wet, balanced), OOS (sharp), Victoria Waxes from Concours (true, balanced) to Chaos (very bright but deep, wet), NXT 2.0 (dark, clear), Bilt Hamber Finis-Wax (techy, wet, bright), Mothers Reflections (natural, balanced)... the list is basically endless...
Your reds, yellows, and blacks?
M26 is perfect on those colors. All around great wax except for trim staining.

Nobody ever uses Malm`s....I dunno how it`d "look on specific colors" (scare-quotes sorta intentional) but it`s good stuff and it doesn`t stain trim (first wax I ever used on plastic/rubber trim).

Malm`s??.... Do you still mail (internet) order it or how old IS your stash of Malm`s?
Nope, never used it. Saw it in Popular Science Magazine ads in the late 80`s, early 90`s.
Back them, it seemed like THE wax to use, along with One Grand Blitz.
I used Classic Carnauba Wax then. Got a 12 ounce tin of it for $4.00 at Wal-Mart in a close-out.
VERY good stuff back then for what I paid. But I digress.....

I think I`m gonna go with either M26 liquid or Zaino Z5. Thanks guys.

I used Malm`s on my first car before I started detailing for money. The two part system really brought back some life to the SS dark blue paint on my ten year old `85 golf.
For the money, Meg`s 26 is tough to beat.
