Oftentimes they used turpentine, because it smells different and better (in my opinion). The modern versions have an additive that makes it white and creamy and helps it to stick. I agree though that pretty much any solvent will do.
I don't know if it's the clearcoat or what they're putting on new cars now but tar, grease, sap etc wash right off of my trucks with water and I never wax them; they only get the spray-on stuff at the car wash.

Another money-making gimmick. A few drops of gas oil work perfectly.
Pretty much any solvent . A splash of gasoline or even wd40!
