I wax my car firstly to protect the paintwork. If I don't wax it then oxidation and weathering can irreversibly damage the paintwork to the point where no amount of wax will make it shine nicely. I have seen nasty cars with faded horrible paintwork (especially red cars for some reason) and I never want my car's paintwork to look that awful. If I go to a car wash it will come out very nice with still the protective layer of wax maintaining the paintwork underneath
