I'm new! Matter of fact I just finished my intro post a moment ago.



I'm trying to sell my 2001 Mazda MX-5 Miata LS so I'm attempting to detail it inside and out as good as possible to sell it quickly.



So far I've used a clay bar, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound I used it to get rid of some water spotting and it seemed to get rid of nearly all of then then I used Meguiar's Gold Class Carnauba Plus Premium Liquid Wax...



Is there a different brand that would be better, but not to expensive or more I should use to take it to the best shine like pure carnuba or a sealant, or polymer or something else.

Nevertheless I'd like to keep the paint as nice as possible and will be more concerned with durability than anything. Do you all have any suggestions.

On a red car, if I've used Megs GC, I'll top it with Swissvax's Onyx. Although most carnaubas give that "jetting effect", I especially like the JE of Onyx, cos it makes the red look moist and alive. Durability: 8weeks max in tropical, hot and humid climate. Lots of very small, very round and closely spaced water beads.
 
Thanks for the replies everyone I appreciate them all. However, since Carquest is near me and I wanted to be able finish the job today I decided to buy Duragloss CCP and Duragloss AW. I've applied the CCP and the car looks even better than after the Meguires at this point should I put a coat of the AW or a coat or two more CCP or...

Optimum Opti-Coat(hands down) is the most durable, long lasting product you can apply to your new vehicle's finish. I suggest locating an installer in your area to help you out. The product is simply amazing.

That makes perfect sense...



So then Collinite must be the most durable product I can apply myself on the Forester when I get it is that correct? What about Zaino or is Collinite even more durable?
