Tech/maintenance Lacquer polish

I have been using Meguiars Cleaner/Wax for what seems like decades. I first learned of it from guitar builders that used it for final touches on boutique guitars with nitro finishes. I have not yet tried the next-gen ceramic-based automotive products. What do you use on your concours cars and fine guitars? @PigSquealer @Phil

Question was cars and guitars, but, yes it dissolves regular grime on a saxophone and buffs up the lacquer. The spray gets in all the nooks and crannies. Finish with a big soft brush, cotton buds and a microfiber detailing cloth.

Mr Sheen works great on a car after a wash and tcut. After that the muck just slides off. Good on the motorcycle too. Stops the bugs sticking. When they used to do the vanilla scented spray the bike smelled like custard on start up.
