What wax and polish(if any) should be used on a white single stage painted car?

I wan't to wax the BMW that I mentioned that I just picked up. The car is whilte and has sitten outside for a year. It seems to have some mold spots on the decklid, roof and hood. I heard that I had to be very careful with a non-clear coated finish as the any rubbing would go right thorugh the paint. This was never an issue on my SL, as it was spotless from the time I drove it home. With this type of paint, do, really just need to do what I can with wax or, is a polsih an okay thing to use? I cringe at the idea of removing a layor of paint.

I was tempted to use the Meguiars Three step system on the BMW, but I don't want to eat through the paint. I remember at one point waxing an old Black Volvo that I had and finding just that made the black color rub off onto the cloth.

Thanks for any information, Nick
