Best wax for dark colors?

I am looking for a good wax or wax system for hand application. Recently I tried the Meguiar's Clay bar and 3-step Deep Crystal System, and after a good 8 hour work out I was hoping for better results. I have been looking into Porter Cable buffers and such but would like to hold off for now. Has anyone had good results with anything else applied by hand on dark colors?

Most people say Zaino, I haven't tried it though. I have had really good results with Meguiar's #7 polish and then follow it up with their #26 hi tech yellow wax. It really brought out the shine and deepness on my 02 black SS Camaro. I use it on my GTO and it has a nice wet look.

It's good that you clayed. Great, actually. I get really good results by claying then following up with Klasse All In One (red jug) and hitting it with coats of Klasse Sealent (silver jug) when needed.

If I recall correctly, the Meguiar's three stage is three different liquids in smallish red containers, right? I used to use that. It's good -- but you just don't get that deep, wet look that you will with Klasse.

Thanks for your input. I have owned nothing but dark colored cars and have always gotten good results with the average wax found in most stores (Meguiars, Mothers, etc..). However the GTO is by far the nicest looking car I have owned, yet it has been the most difficult to achieve the super deep wet look I desire. I have heard good things about Klasse and Zaino, but after some research on the two I think I will give the Klasse a try first. From what Ive read it seems like Klasse will give me what I want easier than the Zaino system. But theres only one way to find out.

Best wax for dark colors

Brazilian girls like a mixture of parrafin and beeswax. Finish it off with some talcum powder.
