The paint doesnt breathe as such. Its more to do with the way the wax/sealant/glaze works. Cheaper ones will 'gunk' up the paint where as a good glaze will apply evenly. Think of polish as something which cuts down the paint slightly, a glaze as something that smooths it over and evens the finish and the sealant/wax as something which holds the glaze and protects/enhances the finish.
The glaze i use has oils which prevent the sealant from bonding chemically (Jetseal) These oils are what causes the flake to 'pop' and adds to the shine.
I wouldnt get to hung up on prices of wax. Its the prep work that goes into the finish more than the product.
An £8 pound wax on a well prepped car will look a million times better than £1000 wax on a badly prepped car.

And there I went and bought Paul Dalton's Crystal Wax thinking it would substitute my laziness :embarrassed:

£10,000 for the crystal version (£500 for us mere mortals)

Yeah, I thought the crystal version a bit too expensive - £9500 for crystal packaging - no thanks :rolleye:
By the way... the wax smells so good that you have to consciously stop yourself from licking it :grin:
