Japanese carmakers are known to have extremely thin coats of paint. If you check out Zymol wax (not the crap you get at Autozone, the expensive stuff) they have a wax specifically for Japanese cars.
Do you recall any further clues as to the name of the Zymol wax for soft paint cars. I couldn't identify it on their website
