Default Polishing covering

Do you guys use normal car wax to shine up a model? Ive been flying the heck out of my plane for a while now and I want to try to get the covering to shine again and get some of the swirls/scratches out of it.

Thanks

Default Plane wax

I've had good luck with Johnson's Spray wax (furniture)...used it for a couple of years now with good results and it's so easy to do.

Ditto on the spray wax.

it's the easiest, and gives a nice shine.
