Product to produce High Gloss finish for gunstock?

After finishing to keep it shiney tip. Last year I got back into cars and bought an old Corvette which was grungy and dull, so I did a lot of research on correction. Last week I utilized a similar procedure on a rifle stock. First buff the stock, I used Flitz because it was in the gun room. Clean with isopropyl. Spray with Turtle Wax Hybrid, a combination of carnauba and ceramic protectant. Buff to a shine, very quick and easy. Apply several coats to achieve a durable high gloss. AND it is extremely slick to facilitate bag riding! The auto "waxes" have come a long way recently.
 
So would that wax take the oil finish wood so common on shotguns, for example, to the wet looking finish they used to use?

The high gloss finish on that stock is finishing oil currently, but to improve and maintain the gloss, I would use a proper firearm stock wax like the slippery dicks.

Btw, I have nothing to do with the company and their the adding, but I like the final finish it gives on the stock.

Where can you buy this wax?

I got some of this and it leaves terrible swirls. Any tricks to fix that?
