To tell you the truth I don't even know...I can only describe it as a round red container with a yellow application pad.

EDIT: I'm away from home, at school right now and can't check til this weekend if you still don't find a quality wax...sorry

I have been using Meguairs for about 10 years now...I love the stuff. The best wax the offer, in my opinion, is Medallion. When I detail my car it's usually a 4 hour process...Use Meguairs Soft Scrub to wash it, Meguairs Swirl Remover 2.0 to polish then Meguairs Medallion to wax. Never looked or felt better!!!

rain-x makes a wax with a uv-protectant additive.

nice wax - seems to work quite well

make sure to get the liquid wax not the spray on stuff - the spray on stuff does not have the uv protectant.

the other waxes mentioned do not have a uv protectant and you may still get some yellowing.

A lot of interior cleaners have UV protectants in them. I plan on using Aerospace 303 protectant/cleaner. Do a search for it..good stuff.

I have been using Meguire's Carnuba wax for the last 8 years, and love it. I have tried all the other top brands of wax, and have come back to Meguire's.
