So you have to decide whether you want a glossy look or a very deep look. Although, whenever I detail a car I always try to use both products. I like to use meguiar's 23 as my synthetic coat, and then I will use Zymol Titanium as my last step product. Zymol titanium gives you increased durability and keeps the classic zymol characteristics. So, if you want the best results, apply a synthetic coat and then top it off with a high-end carnauba paste wax. To answer your question about buffing or hand application as far as carnauba is concerned... I always apply a thin layer with my hands, you are supposed to melt the wax with the friction of your hands anyways... hit me up if you want a detail.
You sure it's Meguiar's 23? When I search for it, some kind of odor eliminator comes up..
