My thought is that the very best car wax in the world is the one you actually put on your car regularly.

(Side note, I need to wax my cars....)
A friend of mine has a car collection that includes at least one Pebble Beach 1st place class winner. He used to use Turtle Wax -- the paste-wax kind in the green tub that comes with a round applicator sponge -- and won virtually every concours he's enter with his 356 (and was featured on the cover of at least one 356 book). He was quite "frugal" and argued -- pretty convincingly -- that his $4 tub of Turtle Wax (which lasted years) looked every bit as good as the latest $250 Crystal Fusion Polymer Moonrock Brazilian Graphene wax. I'm sure the more modern waxes can last longer, smell better, hide swirls better, go on way easier, etc., but his point was that paint prep and elbow grease were as good or better looking than expensive wax...
Of course, I'm lazy and my 992 has PPF, so I use the liquid 3M synthetic stuff my PPF guys recommended.
