alot of people think the wax gives you the good finish but its a myth im afraid, the finish comes from your prep, you could have the most expensive wax on the planet but it wont make an un-prept car look the mutts, whilst i was working at a nissan and mg maindealer years back i watched a kiddy apply wax to an unclayed not even polished car and spent my lunch hour wetting myself as i watched him struggle in a big way to remove the wax that had bonded like concrete to the paint, very comical.
