What would be the best stuff to use on Caribbean Orange?

First person to make a joke about Polish people is a cunt.

Does it really make a difference using a certain wax on particular colours?

I'd just put Collinite on and be done with it

I know Autoglym isn't very fashionable these days, but I've been using super resin polish and their sealant on my car for a while now. It lasts for ages and makes subsequent washes so easy because the dirt hoses off and buffs to a shine without re-application for a good few months.

Dodo Juice coloured wax is same on any colour you use it on, its just a gimmick . Meguiars or the cheapest Auto Finesse Temptation will be perfect.

Proving that a wax with blue dye leaves a blueish smear on white paint doesn't prove that it makes blue paint more blue. Which it won't, btw.

If anything, I'd say the clouded coloured film left behind by these waxes is an argument against their performance as an "enhancement" product.

Agreed the colour specific stuff seems to be gimmick, though I do believe that a synthetic sealant suits "colder" colours and a carnuba suits deeper colours, such as orange.

I use SRP and their HD wax and the paintwork always gets good comments.

It's all down to how you prep the paint beforehand.

Who has looked at the stuff that forms some sort of special ceramicy quartz microny hardish layer that stays on the car, mentioned nano technology so must be good.

Think it was something like £60-80 to do a car with it.

Sonax and GTECHNIQ are popular choices. Being synthetic though they sheet water as opposed to bead water which can come down to preferance.
