They're not bad as a whole, but the overall opinion of their waxes are that the cheaper ones are nothing special and the high end ones are good - but expensive.

The Zymol not sold at Autozone, Pepboys, etc is the higher end (generally). The cheap stuff is just repackaged Turtle Wax. The high end stuff works good, but it doesn't work any better than many products half the price.

Concours and up are generally thought to be the better waxes. This would include Concours ($175), Destiny ($647), Atlantique ($1,358), Vintage ($2,184), and Royale ($8,416).
Some people have reported as really liking Glasur, and while I have some Atlantique, Vintage, and Royale, I've only used the Atlantique so far and really did like it. Of course it was used on a show car, so durability is not a factor. Don't expect anything other than normal "wax" durability from any of these products regardless; somewhere around 2 or 3 months.

Hope this helps.

here is a video with a porsche having the Atlantique wax pretty interesting how well it holds up makes me want to apply 10 coats of wax to my car haha

I do hope you take into account that prep work is 95%+ of the look of a car. I could put the cheapest wax on the market on a well prepped vehicle and it'd look stunning.

FWIW, here's a couple of pics of a vehicle we did wearing Atlantique.

Still - look at the work that went into the car before hand. Any product we could have used was going to look outstanding. After 50+ man-hours on this baby, how could anything look bad?
Please look into making sure the car looks correct before you decide to spend anything more than $30 on a last-step protection product.
