I would recommend Meguiars NXT generation tech wax 2.0. It gives a very good deep shine. I had used Turtle wax for years, but the meguiars is far superior!
Pennzoil (JOKING!)
I like the NxT as well.

Best looking? If I'm selling a car, I want the easiest to use and don't care about how long it lasts or really how deep the shine is. FX SynWax is the easiest I've used, you could probably do a midsize sedan in under 10 minutes.
Collinite is great if you want long lasting, but I wouldn't go through the rather difficult buffing phase with that for something I'm selling.

Since you are selling it, you don't care about durability. Thus, NXT 2.0 will work fine for you. It's easy on -- easy off, but will stain trim. It's somewhat pricey for it's performance. In order to answer your question, more info would help:
What condition is the paint in? Swirls/scratches? Faded? Near perfect? Color?
Anything you grab off the shelf will probably make it look better.
If you have a Big Lots, try 3M Performance Finish for $3. If you want to go all out, try AutoGlym Wax from Walmart for $35.

^ what grampi said. DG is a little more difficult to find locally, but #101 would be perfect. $10, excellent clean, protect & shine. I didn't really "recommend" NXT. I simply stated it would be OK since he's selling the car 
. If it's swirled, try some glaze (with fillers), and then top it with a wax/sealant.

I can't believe all the Mequiar's recommendations. Their polishes are good (Ultimate Compound, Scratch-X, etc), but their finishing products suck. Duragloss kicks the snot out of anything Meguiar's makes in that department.
I just discovered Duragloss at a local non-chain auto parts store a little over a year ago and have been highly impressed with it compared to the other OTC detailing products. Even their car wash soap is better than the others.

I've never not been able to find DG products at NAPA stores.

I am fan of both but DG has no real paint correction product such as Meguairs Ultra Compound or SwirlX, let alone M105 or M205. DG's precleaner is nothing compared to equivalent Meguiar.
Now getting back to the original question, DG 501 (marine version) is the easiest to apply, gives great shine and lasts for a long time.
If you can get your hands on the elusive Meguairs M16 old fashioned wax in the can, try that for longevity.

Nice catch. I should've said Meguiar's FINISHING products don't compare with those from DG. Mequiar's polishes are actually really good.
