Zaino is a synthetic wax and their website explains the differences between the products. You will need ZFX, Z2, and optionally Z5 if you prefer. Z6 and Z7 are also good products and are beneficial if the paint has Zaino on it, but it's up to you.

Quick detail sprays are great to help remove excess wax residue or after washes to both liven up the finish and remove any water spots. Some people use it in conjuction with the California Car Duster between washes to keep the car clean. You tend to go through a good amount of it if you detail frequently. They aren't harmful to the paint at all, but the usual rules apply. If there is dirt on the surface or you use a bad towel, you can scratch the surface up. Otherwise, they are generally fine.

If you find some odd product that is abrasive, then it could be harmful, but I can't think of any. 4Star Ultimate Gloss Enhancer and Zaino's are my favorites. Meguiars and Eagle One make decent products if I need to get something off the shelf locally. Almost every company makes a quick detailer and there are many good products out there. Some contain wax.

BTW, I hear Detailer's Paradise (forum sponsor) is going to be carrying 4Star products in the future.
