The Lustre King machines typically used a buffing compound (Standard, Highly Reactive and the Lustre Sheen compound) not a wax per se, there were also some compounds made by other companies like DBA Blue Genie (one of the Genie products though I think it was called green Genie. You never wanted to get that on a resin ball, it killed them dead they wouldn't hook at all and you had to sand it off.).
Now before the resin era there might have been a actual "wax one" I can't say for sure, I never seen one. (The oldest machine I've seen was one that used 3-4 plastic brushes to brush the old rubber balls clean. that and the old machine that would wash the ball first and then polish it.)
"
Now there was a wax (at least they called a wax, In fact that was the name "Ball Wax") that I liked for Urethane and plastic balls. You couldn't use it on a resin ball though it would plug the pores up.
And yes you should check any product you use to make sure they don't contain any wax's or silicone's. Now there a lot of 3M products that can be used and a lot of bowling products are made by 3M or their products just rebranded.
