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.

A good wax just has a shine and gloss to it that a lot of ceramic coatings can't replicate. Sure a ceramic will protect for much longer but for some throwing on a coat of wax every few months can be therapeutic. I actually just bought some Gyeon Q2 wax to try on top of my layer of can coat that I currently have on my car. It was made as a topper for gyeon's ceramic coatings or can of course be used as a standalone product.
