I use a synthetic sealer. Usually use a meguiars product. Nxt tech. Also zaino. I top with zymol carnauba. Of course clay and mild polish if needed.
The carnauba doesn't make much difference on white. My car is white. Adds a little depth.
Btw, meguiars nxt tech is not a cleaner wax. It's just a synthetic polymer. Goes on super easy and comes off same. Leaves finish like glass and holds up,well.

It's not a bad product and the reality is that in some instances the cleaning properties can be a benefit and it does leave a finish which is nearly as deep as a high end carnauba. I might pick some up for my DD's since it works so well.

I use Adams products and have a white Mercedes daily driver and it has a very deep gloss. If you don't own a buffer just clay bar (very easy) and put on a coat of this

Interesting experiment!
I've always noticed that most liquid waxes have some level of "solvent" type properties to them, but didn't consider that to be a "cleaner" in the rubbing compound sense of the word!. I definitely don't disagree that NXT has some chemical cleaners, but not abrasive cleaners that are typically associated with a true cleaner wax.
I actually picked up a bottle of their "Ultimate Liquid Wax" which is supposedly an even higher end synthetic polymer. I tried it last time I waxed the car and it does work well. Goes on and off easier than NXT and shines just as well, maybe better (hard to tell on white). Will try on the wife's red car next time I was it. I like the Meguiars products, easy to use, and easy to find, work well.

NXT is super easy to use, smells nice and leaves a beautiful finish. Meguiars NXT isn't advertised as a cleaner wax but the solvents they use in their formula are enough to create cleaning properties. In fact I found this to be the case with many of the polymeric sealant products I tried including Zaino's Z5.

You'll find many people simply do: wash, clay, cleaner/polish, synthetic polymer (let it cure for a day), then carnauba. Then wash weekly or whatever, use a spray detailer following, and carnauba every now and again to keep up the shine.

You can use both. Put down a synthetic paint sealant first, then put carnauba on top of that to deepen the shine.

Hmmm....I'm thinking I should try jetseal 109 and my regular wax over it. I've never used a sealant before, but you guys are making me think that I should plus the heat and dust in vegas can be brutal.

Swirl it on slowly by hand, then off when dry with soft cotton cloth, then microfibre.
