all the same stuff. It's down to the claying, de-swirling, and polishing. Wax is just like adding a magnifying glass. The only real difference in waxes are between synthetic waxes that last more than a month or more expensive "bio" waxes with more pure carnauba that have a wetter shine but get dirtier faster and fade after a week or two in the elements. I don't even use a paste wax anymore, some products like Griots Carnauba spray wax have just enough carnauba to give a wet shine. Which means less rubbing on the paint vs. a paste wax - a good thing.

I could prep two cars equally, lavish one with $100 boutique brand carnauba wax and another with over the counter Turtle wax and only a very well-trained eye could tell the difference, even on black.
