Lightbulb What to do next....

I've just had my car painted (on a brand new bodyshell) We (the painter and I) have put a lot of time in on it.
I've just hand flatted it with 1500 and 3M Fine (roughly 2000) Next is a machine compound and polish, which the painter will do with 3M cut and Farecla 3G.

My question is how to wax polish and seal this new paint job so it stays like glass. It'll be a show car, not a daily driver, so will spend most of it's time in store.

Nano wax? carnauba wax? there seems to be way too much in the way of choices and ranges. I want to pick something that does the job, easy to apply and finish.

I want a wet look glossy finish that'll protect it.

Any suggestions?

Congrats on the new paint, sounds like its really cool!

Before applying any wax or sealant it is very important to allow the fresh paint a curing period of at least 30-45 days.
