It might be old but I had that with Meguire’s too. Glaze is hard to get off unless you use a buffer. The last glaze I bought was hard to remove and when I looked at it closer found it was a hand glaze instead of a machine glaze. I threw it away and picked up the machine glaze I usually use. Years ago I had picked up some clearance spray on glaze by Dupont and had the same issue of working like crazy to get it off again. Get yourself at least a foam buffing pad and use the machine glaze plus wax over that.
I agree with you . . . but even regular washing and waxing twice a year won’t preserve the paint and clear coat long term in certain parts of the country, especially if the car isn’t garaged
Sure, I have a can of Simonize paste wax that I use on the table of my table saw. One can is a life time supply though so I gotta think sales are slipping a little unless people use it on their wood floors.

I used them until last time I bought Turtle Wax ICE and I liked it more than original “hard shell”.
Unlike classics, ICE does not leave the white residue on plastics and it’s much easier to rub off.
Generally with the synthetic waxes, you have to do a cleaning phase with a cleaner, polish or clay bar. My pick is Meguires Ultimate Wax but I trust Mother’s also. The Meguires is a cross linked polymer and it is very tough.
A cleaner wax is a lot easier to use but doesn’t last as long.
These days sealants are generally superior to waxes in most areas. I’m a fan of Blackfire Diamond. I think they’ve renamed it to just Blackfire Paint Sealant now. The Collinite845 + Jescar Powerlock combo is more labor intensive, but yields particularly long-lasting protection.
If you just want something you can find on the shelf at your local Autozone or Walmart that’s easy to put on and take off, I’d go with Megs NXT or Megs Ultimate Liquid wax.
