Most waxes will be fine, as long as there no heavy cutting agents in them, i have heard that suzuki paint is not the thickest so wouldnt go round doing too much heavy polishing.
Use a mild easy apply wax and you should be fine.

I polished my panels the other day using 3m and a rotary polisher. As mentioned a lot will depend on the amount of cutting agent. If you polish and apply a cpl of coats of wax, you shouldn't need to polish it again for 6-12 months.

Great link for anything cleaning related.
