Wax is really only a protective layer, a decent wax will enhance the shine of the car and last a hell of alot longer than cheap stuff (generally speaking), but thats about it, to get the most from your paint you need to follow the basic detailing steps which are:
Wash, decontaminate (clay bar, iron & tar remover), polish then add your protection layers, if the paints in good nick i.e not too badly contaminated or full of imperfections i.e swirls scratches & marring (run your hand along the panels they should feel like glass) then i'd recommend a decent all in one, cleaner polish such as auto finesse triple (costs around a tenner) apply it by hand after you've washed and dryed, then buff off then apply your wax, you'll be amazed at the results before you even throw down the wax layers.
Have a look at my thread in the detailing section, that is what i used and achieved those results from a silver (hard painted) car - one of the most difficult colours after white to get depth, shine and reflectivity from!
