I wouldn't recommend the use of soft99 fusso 12 months wax. I have been using it for some time and after a while, it will attract dirt which is not washable with normal wash. This happen even a weekly wash. The only way to remove the dirt is by using meta cleaner or polish. I have stopped using fusso wax since and apply ceramic coating and there is no longer any dirt

Wifey new company car collected 6-7 months back, paintwork looks ok, wash, clay, clean it with isopropyl then coat double layer (1st layer Glanzy+ 10H coat) a week ago then today 2nd layer with this $34 fro Aliexpress.

Judging from the picture, it seems the paintwork shown in the pictures are repainted, and the spray painting workmanship is a bit rough to put it simply. 1st picture seems like sanding marks plus pin holes. 2nd picture seems like heavy orange peel texture with pin holes.

If you are just gently applying wax with a machine, should be no issues. Just remember not to get wax on rubber & plastic trims.
