Default RE: Wax question

I did the whole Zaino Bros thing to the wife's Eclipse, by the whole thing I mean
Wash with Dawn to remove all old wax
Wash with Zaino wash stuff
Clay bar
Wash with Zaino stuff
Coat with Zaino polish (#5 with ZFX) and polish
Use the Zaino detailer Z6
Second coat and polish with #5 with ZFX
Second detailer Z6
Coat with Z2 pro
Third coat of detailer
(Hint the Zaino products are better than their instructions, it took some phone calls to sort out the sequence.)
The whole process took about 4 hours on a perfect car polishing day.
The results - the Zaino showed me exactly how bad and how much orange peal the factory paint finish of the Eclipse has; pleased with the Zaino, disappointed with the USA Mitsubishi paint job. I have subsequently bought an Outlander. Apparently the Japaneese robots are smarter than the ones in the USA as the Outlander has very little orange peel compared to the Eclipse.
Bottom line Zaino is good stuff but there are no miricles in a bottle. After the Zaino supply is done I'll stick with any of the name brand polishes. I have quite a stock as I'm always chasing that miricle!

Yeaqh, everybody has their favorite brand, but we don't seem to know what is in them. The Mother's I have says it's safe for clear coat. Says it's for all paints and restores color and removes oxidation. What is in the wax that does that? I think they all get the same wax out of the same barrel.
