I use it. (Mother's Brand Products)
I usually thoroughly wash the car beforehand, then if needed,
I will clay bar the paintwork.

Then when after all that is done, I will apply the wax.
I can't complain the end result always looks glossy to me.
(I have the original paint on the car, which is 14 years old.)

I use carnuba wax. I didnt know it hurt the paint, it worked well for me. Nice and smooth and shiny.
