Pure Caranuba wax. A bit pricey, but the wax will shine and last you 2 months. It's got to be 100 % pure.

a bunch of professionals (or people that are crazy about their cars) will use a synthetic sealant for durability and then put a layer of carnuba on for the deep shine

Definitely the way to go! Not necessary for every time you detail, but every few for sure. You can also go one step further and do a wet sand, but I don't advise any newbs even attempt that
