That first picture with the Yaris looks amazing though. I guess I'll experiment lol
I'd go with Collinite then. Gives off a very nice gloss/finish and lasts for months, even with just a single layer. It never made sense to me why one would apply a sealant, and then (carnauba) wax. I mean, I get it, the sealant will last long, and the carnauba will provide the deeper gloss, but that's just cumbersome since you really should wait at least an hour before applying a second coat, let alone a different type of wax. That's why I went with 476s since it's a hybrid and gets the job done well, even with just a single layer.

Just look at that reflection, yet the SWP/whiteout still looks rich.



However, 476s is kind of a PITA to use. You must use just the right amount, or else you'll be buffing it off for days. After some experimenting, the right amount would be a very thin layer applied on. Also, it may produce pseudo scratches/marring. That just means you need to use more micro fiber towels.
