Default Ordered new stuff, a bit suggestion needed.

So today after some saving for my car, i decided to spend it on some paint correction stuff, I will have start all over again to save for the downpayment of the s2000.

Here is the list of what i bought.

Meguiars G110 v2, kit on AutoGeek that has like 8 pads and some pad cleaners. Forgot the exact pad colors.
Brinkman Dual Xenon Light
Poorboy's SSR2
Meguiars 105
Mezerna P085RD
Mezerna Powerlock
Sonax Wheel Cleaner ( Tooooooo excited for this one )
Adam's In n Out spray.

For next week's paycheck, I have to buy a good wax under 100bucks. I am thinking of getting the Sonax Carnuaba, P21s or the Pinacle one, sorry i am new so am not used to remembering all the names.
And meanwhile i will be shopping for some new microfiber towels, i have read that target and wallmart have 8packs for good prices.

Please help me get a good wax for that price, I try to spend the least possible but I cant,

Thank You for reading.

what color is the wax for???

hear its great on dark cars.
i would either get that or p21s or one of the DoDo juice waxes. I read that Pinnacle does not last long but i have no experience in it.
i am picky about microfiber and wont buy anything from a retail store like walmart. i personally like the Uber Super Plush Green towels that detailers domain sells.

For dark colors, the waxes I would recomend are Dodo Juice Purple Haze or Blue Velvet. Also, Pinnacles waxes (Souverän & Signature Series) are excellent carnauba waxes.

All the waxes above last about four months, with the Blue Velvet lasting a bit longer in my experiance.

If you are looking for an even longer protection factor, you can use a sealant like Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 or 3M Performance Finish

I use Blackfire wet diamond all paint protection followed up by 2 coats of Midnight sun ivory carnauba and it is awesome on darker colors and even enhances lighter colors. I did my wifes silver Lexus and my yellow Wrangler and the paint was like glass and looked better than new. Recently detailed a black Porsche 911 (black) and an Audi (red) and they came out nice. Check out www.properautocare.com and click on exterior products to see testimonials and pix of recent customers cars.

I highly recommend P21s if you have a silverstone S, havn't tried it on any other colors except blue, which also looks good!
