Have heard wax will be evaporated in some extreme temp like 40'c +, just like the sealant on wheels won't last very long becos of the heat genarated from the brake.

Yup, I think its true...in hot and humid tropical climate natural wax barely last more than a week. Especially in Jakarta where we wash our car everyday due to dusty condition. I have stop using wax and replace it with sealant/synthetic wax for protection, durable enough to last for a month.

Never had experience with Swisswax...heard rave reviews for it. I uses Chemical Guys Jetseal 106 for sealant.

I would spend it on Swissvax best of show, not as good as mystery but not far away (but a lot cheaper)
bought myself a pot recently and this is the best wax i've ever tried

Have you guys heard the FK 1000 Hi-temp wax?, they claim the melting-temp of the wax is 250'c +!
Havent tried myself tho
