Default Best wax?

I have a white is. And I'm looking to bring back the white since I just bought it and the paint needs a little love. What do you guys use and experience with a certain wax? Thanks.

If the paint is faded or yelllow-ed, wax will not help. I prefer meguiar's sealants, which last longer than wax.

I would use some of Meguiars Polish M205, Then follow it up with a good sealant like Meguiars M21.
I have used this combo on many cars and it come out looking wet...
Again you might have to do a step down if the paint has bad paint imperfections...

Ok thanks for the help guys. It's not horrible but I want it pearly white again. I'll try it out and see how it does!

Yeah. You need to correct the paint first. As far as wax, Dodo Juice Hard Candy is amazing. It's very tough but also looks amazing. I won't use any other wax on my cars.
