Best car polish?
I bet my car's shinier than yours, ohhhh? who the f*** cares, nxt isn't going to seal your paint forever, new waxes aren't like the ones of old that were fairly hard to get off, I used to run a detail shop, sorry I mis-spoke.
Most people on here are detail freaks and wax their cars a lot. Most of these people aren't really looking for durability, they are looking for the shine and depth. Everybody has their own preference of what works and what looks better. There are many great products out there, some better than others. If you want deep looking paint with a lot of gloss and less durability go with a wax with carnuba. If you are wanting durability go with a sealant of some kind. If you want best of both worlds, use a sealant and top it with a wax containing carnuba. Just personal preference.

Anyways, can you put a polish on after a wax ? If not, Is the only way to get the wax off by claying the car again ?

You generally only want to clay once or twice a year under normal conditions. While it can remove wax, that's not why you want to use clay.
If you haven't waxed in a few weeks, a polish (as a standalone product like pre-wax cleaner or a cleaner wax) will often remove the older layer of wax, so you shouldn't need to worry about build-up.
Hope that helps.
Yea, that helpes a little bit. I guess what I'm saying is. I clayed and waxed my car about 3 weeks ago. I didn't put a polish or Carnuba on. I want that real deep wet look on my black paint. So how do I achieve this ? As I said I clay bared and waxed with NXT, but It didnt give me that real deep shine I wanted.
Like most of us here,we have tried lots of products.
The 'best' is what YOU are happy with.
Enough philsophy....
I recently washed the car with Dawn dishsoap
then put on Turtle Wax Ice,then Mother's Carnuba
on top.I am very happy with the shine and depth.
my 2 cents worth,anyway

Try this and see if it works for you. Use Dawn liquid sopa to remove all the waxes and other products that are layered on the paint. The Dawn will not hurt your paint. Since you already clayed. Use a paint cleaner first, then use a polish (Meguiar's Step 1 &2). You paint should be prepped and ready to go. Next, use a glaze to make the pop and wet mirror look (MEguiar's #7 Glaze) . Glazes offer no protection to your paint so you need to wax afer this. Follow up with the NXT Tech wax and one or two coats of carnuba (Meguiar's #26 or Pinnacle Series II). That's what I do and use. Hope it works for you. Try other cleaner and polishes, glazes and wax and see what you like.
