Those products are fine and yes there is a lot of importance to waxing your clear coated surfaces. The wax will help prevent oxidation of the clear coat and other forms of damage. It also helps prevent contaminates on the surface from grinding into the clear coat and possibly causing more imperfections in the clear coat. The wax also makes the car look a lot better for longer, which IMO makes getting into the car on a daily basis fun. Regular care of a vehicle should ultimately help you get more for the vehicle when you go to sell it as well. If you want even longer lasting protection look into sealants. Sealants are like waxes but are designed in labs to do what waxes do but do it better.

I've used a lot of different waxes, but the NXT tech wax mad my black motorcyle look better than anything else I have tried. This includes Meguiars 17 (the blue stuff), Pinnacle, P21s, Mothers carnuba and Pledge
