If the bottle talks about "Cleaning", it's likely to be more abrasive than a product that doesn't.

Since my finish is in pretty good shape, I've taken to just keeping a bottle of Turtle Wax spray in the trunk, with some terrycloth towels. After exiting the car wash, I just wipe it down with the spray, and dry it with a clean dry towel. It's no harder than just towel-drying, really, and I know I'm always freshly waxed. The sprays have lower durability than pastes and liquids, but they're easy enough to apply that I do it after every wash. The liquids and pastes I tend to put off doing for longer than I should, because of the hassle. I figure oxidation is not so much about how often you wax... but how often you don't. When it's uncomfortably cold outside, and they're using salt and sand on the roads... and when it is uncomfortably hot outside, and sun intensity is at its peak.

Note that despite any claims, the micro-thin layer of wax or silicone in car waxes can't really filter out much UV. But they do protect the clear layer which does contain an effective UV blocker.

And BTW, so far as I know the spray waxes contain no abrasives at all.

I agree with Steve. I use Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax after every wash. It is very easy to use and you can even use it on your windows. It works as good as Rain-X. I just spray it after washing and dry with a microfiber cloth.
