It depends on what condition your paint is in. Since you have a black 8 i would look into using Meguiar's scratch X 2.0 or swirl X before you use NXT tech wax. NXT is a good synthetic wax. Then just maintain with Quick or speed detailer's. This is what I do and the car looks perfect.

Meguiar's NXT Tech II myself, but of course it's a synthetic.
In the current "pollen season" I also use detailing spray almost daily.
By best wax if you mean natural then a high-Carnauba content such as Griot's Garage Best of Show. btw: there's no such thing as 100% Carnauba, as it would be as solid as a brick.

Well, my new MS bumper only has a couple tiny chips. As for my old bumper, it is a 2004 with 51K miles and has some serious wear when you look up close or even in overcast light.

That's the NAME of the product. 100% While it doesn't say what % in total, the packaging does explain the wax they use is 100% carnauba flakes, mixed with other 'stuff' to make it workable.
I refer to it as P21S 100% Carnauba wax as well, only cos it's the name of the product itself.

Some good ones I've strictly kept using over the past few years over the numerous OTC products I wasted money on over the years:
Collinite 845
Klasse Sealant Glaze
I recently tried HD Poxy as well, and I like it, but it does have some fillers in it and you can't layer it like KSG, so I'm going back to KSG pretty soon as it has the best durability on the planet and can be used on anything, plastic, glass, paint, etc.
I'd highly recommend KSG as a sealant for any car color for the added durability, then you can top it with a carnauba to get that extra pop.
I'm no longer as big a fan of carnauba waxes because I CAN'T STAND dust, and sealants attract A LOT less of it.
