Waxes? help!

I am wondering what is the best wax out there?

I've heard Zaino and Meguiars #7 are excellent. If anoyne uses a different kind or one of those can you post a pic of the shine and how you got it took look that way.

I'm looking for a good wax to use on my Firebird, its black and i'd like it to really shine.

Thanks
-Chris J

It is sound matting I got from Summit Racing. I used a spray adhesive called tacky something also sold by Summit. Around the edges I used aluminum tape. This can be found in hardware stores. It worked really well but it was a bear to put in by myself.

I use dri-wash on all my vehicles and my 26'speed boat. http://dri-wash.com/
They have a new product that can be applied in direct sunlight. I like it just my 2cents.
I used meguires gold before nice shine just too hard to buff off for me.
