I agree with^^^
No wax or sealant is even close to a coating for protection.
Its all about polishing the paint to perfection, or as close as you can, to achieve the ultimate shine. I detail cars, paint correction mostly, as a side gig and I get asked "What wax" all the time. Living in Florida, I will only put wax on a garage queen show car. I have a $200 jar of Fuzion that I have used 5 times. It just doesn't make any sense to use a wax in a climate like florida.
Sealants are miles ahead of wax for longevity and protection. Paint coatings take it to another level past sealants. Coatings are a game changer in the detailing world.
I would never ever use furniture and house hold cleaners for my bike or truck. They were not made for car/bike paint. But use what you want.

Microfiber pads are good. Chemical wise, no. I use Menzerna, 3D polishes, and CarPro. A lot of guys like M205, its just not me

I use Turtle Wax Ice. It may not be the best out there but it's easy to put on and take off. It doesn't leave white residue and can be used on everything including plastic. I use it on my '14 Limited, '64 Servi-Car, '57 Cushman, and '24 Ner-a-Car show bikes. It seems to hold up well on my Limited that gets ridden almost daily.
