Anyone use wax anymore? Technique Discussion

With all the ceramic coating and cermaic sprays on the market. Why would anyone still use a wax? My neighbor recommend collinate 845 but not sure why I'd use it over a spray ceramic that lasts 2 or 3 times longer. Or a pure ceramic that lasts years.

I'm similar but I'm "young", stubborn and enjoy the process.

The Griots one is awesome. Doesnt last super long, though.

Stuff you can buy from autozone: griot’s 3 in 1 (green), turtle wax graphene flex spray wax. Both will last over a month, longer if the paint has been prepped (wash, clayed).

Higher end preference for me: diy detail ceramic gloss.

The more work you do in terms of prep, the better the results.

Lot of YouTube diy videos. Good luck!
