High end wax is worth the price tag for the smell alone. U will only really see the benifits if u build up a good base, by gettin rid of all the grime and swirl marks ur car will have built up (with clay bar and lube, then scratch-x or t-cut) , then a good polish, followed by a couple of coats of wax.
I also suggest that u do the polishing 'wet'. basically just spray on some water while ur doing it. this will apply it in thiner clearer layers and u'll use a hell of a lot less for the same coverage.
