What is better for darker colors: Glaze or Sealant

I am gonna be detailing my bike this weekend and I wanted to know which is better for bringing out a nice deep wet look for my bike? It's a dark blue yamaha R6. So far it's been washed, clayed, and in the process of polishing.

For a deep wet look, use some good wax. Glaze will give it some shine, but will wash away on the next wash. Sealant is reflective shiny, but not generally deep and wet. Glaze then wax to make it really pop. Good carnauba wax looks deep and wet and less reflective than sealant. Add a second or third coat of wax to deepen the wet look. It should be pretty quick and easy on a bike. I have a friend who is going to bring me his bike soon to detail.

Use a Glaze, then apply a Carnauba wax on top of it.
