I think most popular brands have it, its supposed to be synthetic, protects better than carnauba wax but doesn't shine as much. That's the reason for applying the second layer of carnauba if you wanna very deep and wet look. I myself have no access to any of this, you should check out what they recommend at autopia.org

thanks, that's useful! 
from your link:
"POLISH: A polish is normally a non-abrasive product based on a nutrient oil matrix and may or may not have a chemical cleaner as part of the package. Most polishes use fillers to help cover swirl marks."
yes that works... fillers

In the detailing world, if polish is used as a noun, most of the time the detailers meant buffing with a machine and an abrasive product. So they use "waxing" as in applying non-abrasive products. From the link its a noun thus there's always confusion between polish and wax. You should check out autopia.org too, they have the Meguaire's video there too I learnt a lot about detailing there recently.
