Rich, not sure what the wax is, but make sure that it is not silicone
based. That will destroy your clear coat after repeated usage - this
applies to most of the "magic" polishes that promise to restore a 70 year
old car hood to brand new finish.

If you are looking for good waxes, use a carnauba or bees wax based
product. I personally use the S100 products and neither is bothersome to
work with (spray and paste). The paste is used for full cleanings and the
spray is used in between. The nice thing about the spray is that you can
wax the whole bike in under 5 minutes and it leaves it looking top notch.
