carnauba waxes, what do you prefer?

What I've tried so far:





06. Meguiar's #26 Hi-tech yellow wax - Can't remember much of how this was except for it dusted a lot during removal and was a bit difficult to buff off.



07. Natty's Paste Wax - I just purchased the Natty's Blue and haven't tried it yet. Will get back with a report sometime soon.



16. Meguiar's Gold Class Clear Coat Car Wax - Wasn't a fan...



19. Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss Paste wax - Pretty decent wax for being OTC and a Turtle Wax product. Easy on, easy off. Dusted a bit though. Good results/shine.



24. Collinite #845 Insulator Wax - This is my current favorite wax. I was very impressed when I used this on a boat detail job and kept hearing stories about how great the vessel looked and was able to be cleaned after weekends at L. Mead.

I then tried it out on my Daytona Blue 350Z with excellent results. Low dust, able to apply it in the sun or shade, awesome longevity and water beading. Only downside was it gave my blue car more of a 'bright' look and not as much depth as I was looking for.





Since I'm relatively new to posting here at Autopia (but I've been reading/lurking for a long while) I feel that I should emphasize that I've used these products by applying them by hand only.
 
pete 53, Just something about it looks great on my car



Souveran, all around great wax



Victoria, best look so far.... as far as depth and wetness.
 
I really like the CMW. I have some Paste Glaz, but have not used it yet. Thinking about gettting some Natty's, Victoria, and Pizzaz, we'll see.
 
PS Paste - A very deep rich look on my black car. By far the easiest on/off wax I've used.



Nattys Blue - VERY wet look. A little more wet than PS IMO. But does not have the depth of the PS.



Carnauba Moose Wax - Great durability, nice shine.

CMW has pretty much been my go to carnauba this past year. So easy to use and the durability rivals a lot of sealants. I used it over Meguiars #80 on a black Mercedes ML430 back on July 16th. I washed it again in early August with Optimum No Rinse but since then, the owners have run it through the tunnel wash once or twice a month. I normally would see it more often but a combination of a lot of rain through early September, me having jury duty, them on vacation, etc; for a couple months I only was out at their house twice and those times, I cleaned their CL500.



Anyway, I washed it today (October 30th) and couldn't get over how slick it still was. The appearance overall was pretty good too, save for a few towel streaks left over from the tunnel washes.
 
845IW for all around summer durability and wetness

476S for winter durability and decent looks

#16 I have a couple dozen tins for bragging rights and taking cool photos ...LoL

You forgot Mothers California Gold Natural Formula (step 3 of their system)



It is a very good carnauba.

I have used this and must disagree, I find it hard to buff off (harder than collinite) and not very nice looking.
