Then decide if you are a carnuba guy and want to repeat the waxing process every 3 to 4 months; or if you want to use one of the new hybrid/synthetic waxes and repeat the process every 6 months to a year. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

Their Butter Wax is a very pure carnuba that works great but wont fill and hide and imperfections which you shouldnt have recuse its a new paint job. If you prefer a sealant Jet Seal 109 is excellent. I also prefer to apply them with a Porter Cable D/A polisher and a blue foam pad instead of hand waxing. Its much faster and goes on more evenly.

The "butter wax" we used to use didn't hold up after repeated washings, but was easy to work with. I haven't used the new synthetic waxes, but the carnauba waxes I've been using hold up for years or so on cars that don't get a lot of outdoor exposure, and about a year on the ones that do. If your paint isn't smooth & slick before waxing, you should try claying it; I've found that even indoors, stuff can get onto the surface.
