Try some Adams Detail Spray. Works great.

I've used Liquid Glass for 25 years. It can be used on painted surfaces, chromed metal, chromed plastic, glass, and doesn't leave any White powdery residue.

Wax isn't going to improve wear marks. All it is going to is give you shiny wear marks. If it is that noticeable it either needs to be polished or if the clear has worn that bad......

You will get several points of view on polishing and waxing. I can't say it is all a matter of preference because different polishes give different results. Drop by a paint shop or two and ask them what they think about the condition.

You will get a more professional evaluation than you will get on here. You can't evaluate something you can't see and photos don't necessarily show everything. JMHO
