Anyone know of some great wax products? Some really bad ones to stay away from?
Any good techniques to use?

Just some general stuff to make skis last longer

I use Swix and I have not had any problems so far!

Hertel 3/4lb brick from Amazon. I've had nothing but great results with it.

Swix f4. $25 for a brick of it and it works incredible in all conditions.

Unbranded 1kg slabs the guy in my old shop hooked me up with. You're not racing, any wax is good wax. Except stuff with perfume (eg. OneBallJay).

I was actually surprised how F4 works. I didn't expect much out of it but it really work. Do be warned with F4 though, make sure you are in a ventilated area cause that shit smells way worse than other waxes. I was also told that its bad for you to inhale that shit too but it doesn't say anything on the box it comes in.

Swix LF with all the goodies, the head tech at our shop used to tune for the Rossi race team so we get all the fun stuff.

Swix CH4 because I'm cheap. Great wax though. I used to never wax for some reason, but it's a night and day difference, and it just makes skiing 100006235235% better.

I'm usually using green or blue. Green is a bitch to scrape and work with in general though...
