Wax is wax as far as I'm concerned.
Prep it right with a littel cutting paste and a degreaser and ieven Nulife will make it look good.

I use a real good paste wax and never a liquid. Dont cut it with rubbing compounds if you dont have to! Use a good prewax cleaner to make sure your surface is clean.
My method-- Im a wax freak,
On My original paint buses I'll rub it with rubbing compoud if the paint is oxidized. I
only do it if the paint is thick enough.
If the paint is not oxidized then I use
Zymoil as a prewax cleaner.
Then once the surface is clean I use Eagle
or Meguires paste wax. Ill wax the bus and
LEAVE it on for a DAY and not Buff it! Come home after work the nextday and BUFF it all off and then proceed to wax it all again.

Unfortunately I do not have the luxury of leaving it on for a day, as my Bus is a daily driver. But thank you very much for the info.

Meguires makes the best - use mirror glaze if the paints in great shape, their polish if it needs a little help.
