Good wax for this color?

I have an Acadia Green Subuaru Impreza Outback, and most waves do an OK job, but they don't really bring out the brilliant green color. Basically I need better depth. Here's an old, pre-PC pic of the paint color (the swirls are gone now :D ):

I love the reflections I get with NXT, but I want something to help bring out not only the reflections but also the color.



Thanks!
 
Maybe a combo like Poorboy's EX and Natty's Blue. If you really want to spend some cash PS does a good job on dark colors.
 
My wifes Jeep Liberty is natively a little darker than that and until today I had EX and Nattys-Blue and it did a real good job darkening and making the finish glossier and deeper. Souveran would probably do even a better job.



I am in the process of putting WG on it over AIO, and after I get WG x3 then I'll apply some Nattys-Blue. Again I hope to darken the finish and make it glossier like I did with the EX and Nattys-Blue.
 
On that color, I would consider something like this...



Z2-Pro and Z8, Z6 QD



or...



Mothers's Synwax, topped with Reflections Top Coat, and QD'ed with Meguiar's Last Touch detail spray.
 
If I were going to use something that I have here, I would probably pick NXT or EX-P. I'd probably consider topping the EX-P with original Natty's. Mike (1 Clean WS6) used original natty's on a metallic silver-ish G35 and it was POPPIN!
 
Put more effort into the polishing. That's what makes the difference.



A well prepared surface will make any wax look good.

Agreed...although I think EX-P or a similarly clear and wet sealant would look best on that color.



Both topped with EX-P after proper prep:
