Default what kind of "Polish" to use?

The dealership ran out of their polish. I got the black cherry paint job. The Salesperson told me to put a coat of wax on it because it's new . What kind do you use, that is safe and won't strip off my lovely new paint!?!

Thank You for your Time and Consideration.

Is this dĂŠjĂ* vu?

I've been using Liquid Glass for several years and is a very high quality but expensive product.

"Crystall Glo"
I use at on painted surfaces (not blank wrinkle), chrome and the windshield (for bug removal).
It gives the bike a wet look because it has acrylic additives.
