RBC67, I used PPG for everything from the metal up. 2 coats of sealer, 4 coats of primer, 4 coats of paint, 4 coats of candy, 3 coats of clear. I used all 3M to cut and buff after wet sanding first with 1500 then with 2000 and 2500 on a couple of places that were thin and didn't want to go too deep.
lol... yeah, I can be that way too! every so often it works out.

Using all the same mfg's material is the way to go. Was it their Concept line?
It sounde like from the origional question that the just waxed feel just doesn't last long. I would try the Imperial hand glaze process.

If you don't feel that it's not that shine you want, I would go through the buffing process again. sometimes it takes several applications with each compound to get it to that level of gloss. Buffing pads can make a difference as well. Remember, your paint will never be as glossy as when its new, but you can get it real close.

Lastly, ask your paint supplier for the name of the local 3M rep. He can look at and see exactly what is going on in your case. If you have no luck there, shoot me a pm with phone number and I'll get you a contact.
Good luck Slick67.
