Sticking to the thread. Modern Camaro's don't have single stage paint jobs, and clear coat is much different.

The pictures you post are of a custom paint job, I bet it is much thicker than a factory paint job like on our cars. it can withstand many more waxings and polishings than a factory paint job can...
Who told you that? There is no true WAX on the market that will remove any amount of clear coat. If your waxing weekly there is something wrong with your wax.

Polish (and maybe a few cleaner waxes) does remove trace amounts of clear coat.. If its done properly most paint jobs can withstand 20+ full blown polishings. And if your polishing weekly there is something wrong with your washing method, because you should never have to polish more than once every year.
