Entry Four: The wax debate

So, now we that we know the differences between waxes and sealants, lets get to which looks better. I'll just let this unaltered photo let you decide. While, the photo doesn't quite show how great they look in real life, it is an accurate representation of the differences.

The panels were wet sanded and polished

Both panels were wet sanded with 2000 grit and then meticulously polished with the 3M Perfect-it system. The panel on the left was then topped with Meguiar's NXT and left to cure overnight. The right panel was polished again with Meguiar's Show car glaze #7 and topped with Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnauba wax. 

NXT Panel 

Carnauba Panel

Again, they both look great, but to me the NXT panel is slightly wetter looking with starker contrasts ranging from very deep to very bright. The carnauba darkens the paint a shade or two, but it looks a little plastic and doesn't have the contrast of NXT. Honestly, they both look great, and there isn't really a correct answer here.
