As mentioned the Johnson's paste wax works well. I also like the (very similar) Minwax paste wax because they have a dark version. While it isn't really very dark I like to think the residue won't show up as bad in cracks and crevices.
As Bob mentioned a little goes a long way so just apply a very thin coat since you'll be buffing most of it off anyway.
Before I apply a paste wax I like to go over the cabinet (if needed) with some Old English or Howard Restor-A-Finish
to hide any scratches.
I've read very good things about Renaissance Wax (used by many museum's) but it is pretty expensive for a small container and I haven't tried any yet.
Other waxes I have used and liked are Howard's Feed-n-Wax and Briwax (dark brown color). Briwax was reformulated to be EPA friendly so try to find a vendor on eBay who is still selling the original formula if possible.
