Eh you guys are both right in a way, there are off the shelf waxes that really are garbage, and there are "boutique" waxes that are way overpriced and just a waste of money.
IMO, a wax or car treatment is in part only as good as the person using/applying it. If a person rarely washes and waxes their car and in general doesn't take great care of their paint, I don't care if there using Zymol Royale Wax (@ over $7,000) or some info-mercial garbage their paint isn't going to look that great. If a person regualrly washes their car and takes great care of their cars paint then it might be hard to tell the difference between say a Mothers or 3M off the shelf wax and a Zaino Bros. or expensive Zymol wax finish.
Me personally I have used all different types of waxes on my cars, Zymol Titanium, Japon, Paste, Zaino Bros. wash and wax and other detailing products, Mothers, Meguiars Gold, 3M waxes, and more recently Chemical Guys waxes. They all have there pros and cons, some are easy to put on and take off, others take longer to apply but offer longer lasting protection, some can be purchased at Pepboys, others have to be special ordered, and some cost a lot and some are cheap.
Currently I am very happy with the Chemical guys 50/50, and Pete's '53 waxes, they are affordable, quick application and easy removal, and leave a long lasting protective coating.
