Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax
I use Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax - a Consumer Reports #1. It takes a little longer to dry, but durability is high. (note I have a C5, not exactly the same body material as a C4 - but I've recommended this wax to other C4 users who have been pleased)

I moved this to Care & Detailing as I think you'll have better response there.

I tried the Turtle Wax Liquid Clay Bar on my three S-10s Labor Day weekend and found that it did a great job. Was not really impressed with the Turtle Wax Ice though. The great advantage of the liquid clay bar over the clay bar itself is that you don't drop it (I have a tendency to drop things that should not be dropped). If you drop the clay bar, it is advisable to discard it. The liquid clay bar does not stain the black weather stripping nor trim. The liquid Turtle Wax Ice does not stain the weather stripping or trim either, but I will use Zaino to finish the job. GMJunkie uses both Turtle Wax products and his photos of his work is impressive.
Looking at the pics of your yellow beauty, I think you would be pleased with a clay bar application. If you use the clay bar rather than the liquid clay bar, make sure you use a lubricant with it for it to work.
Hope to see you in Cleveland.

I just recieved my detail kit from Adams. Haven't had a chance to us it yet, hope to do so over the weekend.
Hey......I just realized this is a thread about wax. Hmmm...........I don't think there's been a thread about wax yet.
