Funny you mention "hide scratches".
There was some special waxes we had at the Pontiac dealership in the later 70's and after I left I am sure that were in some basic colors. I do Not remember if they were a GM related product .This was HUGE for the Lacquer paint, and worked best on Black and white colors ( Non Poly). Lacquer can get tiny imperfections even early on, and the colored wax really hid a lot, and I used a hard Turtle wax( Carnuba that was very hard) over it. I Never tried the red, but did use the brown, the black and the white a few times.
We had a Black '78 SE T/A in the showroom I did, and a '78 Corvette pace car another tech did without any carnuba , or color, just a liquid cheap silicon coating. I was some proud of that T/A shine, could see it out on the road easily.
