Personally all the "Z", Griots, etc, etc.. stuff is over-hyped, overpriced.
A friend of mine whos show car wins a lot based on his paint, uses good old Turtle Wax.

'Based on his paint' says it all. Using a 'cleaner' wax like some Turtle Wax can destroy the look of a black paint. You might not notice the swirls in the shade or cloudy day but in the sun looks really bad.
Some of the polymer types will fill the micro scratches and yet could leave a haze, so one needs to experiment on a lower portion or obscure part of the bodywork and see what works best or to your satisfaction.
I would suggest to determine what type of paint the body has and do some research. This is why the higher regarded brands command the price and offer a wider variety of waxes. The chemistry has evolved with waxes and finishes. Imron was a tough hard paint, so many versions of enamels out there and can be soft or hard, most of the two stage urethanes seem tougher and hard, lacquer (still available in some states) was very pliable but shrinks over time, especially black against sun heat.
