I'm using wax as a generic term for "synthetic car polishing compound"
It's the stuff actually recommended by the Honda dealership, applied once per year.

ok.
well it's your car. If Honda says it won't hurt the finish then I trust them. But I still think it's not necessary. |

They mostly say that so the solvent doesn't burn off before you have spread it out evenly and buffed it. IF you are able to work small enough sections and keep a wet edge you might be successful doing it in the sun or on a hot car.

It's just that I've been off work the last few days, and it's Texas, and it's summer. __________________ NEXT QUESTION: Anybody ever used a "scratch filler" ??? If so, which one? How well do you think it worked?

The scratch filler question is also a good one. My school's parking was used by golf slobs for a geezer national event last week and my car took some abuse.
