wax, like most other specialty car stuff - 90% hype, 10% fact. any quality, name brand, wax will work just fine.

Any old polish or wax from walmart. But if you want good stuff try Adams Polishes. Everything they sell works great. Most think it costs to much but you use so little. Wax on Wax off never got better.

When I was in the Air Force we wiped hydraulic fluid (5606) on the airplanes to make them shine during IG Inspections. They looked great, for a little while. You decide.
