I used to use Rain Dance too, over 30 years ago. I didn't know they still made it
. I do show car type body and paint too, and know about using the glazes and carnuba, and have tried many waxes.
If you want something that's simple and easy to use, produces excellent results and long lasting protection, try Meguiar's NXT generation Tech Wax 2.0. I use the liquid for ease of application. It's easy to apply and remove. You can apply it to the entire car before wiping it off(in the shade or inside, of course). Use the microfiber cloths. It makes the paint color look richer than before, water beads up for a long time, and it's noticeably slicker. This seems to be the type of product you're looking for. At about $17 a bottle, it's more than your usual everyday wax, but a whole lot less than some of the fancy "treatments".
