Message	Is your car stored in a garage or outside? If outside then I would suggest a synthetic sealant to protect the paint from the elements. If in the garage then go with a carnauba. Before applying all of the waxes/ sealants make sure your paint is completely contaminate free using a clay bar as you mentioned above. Wipe the clean paint down with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and a microfiber towel. This will remove any oils from the paint and allow the wax to bond to the paint better. Before doing any of this though you should do a full paint correction to remove any swirl or scratches. This process is what really makes the paint shine. I use a lot of products from Adams polishes. Check out their site for a ton of useful information. Their Americana is an excellent product. A few pics from my last spring detail
