Yet, I take that statement with a grain of salt. Teflon should have a pretty high temperature rating to "bond" to your paint. I doubt a standard sunny day is going to give you the temperature rating you need.
With it needing such a high temperature to bond to your paint, I am speculating that the extra shine is coming from the Teflon, but the durability and longevity of the wax job is coming from the quality of the wax. I doubt you would see an improved length of time in between washes and waxes.
Additionally, if there is a way for it to "bond" to your paint job, I would worry about build up from multiple applications and distorting the paint color. Depending on how it builds up on the paint work, the only way to prevent the distorting maybe to completely remove/strip the wax.
Just my .02 cents. Other members may have other opinions on the matter.

Thanks for reply, Jeff!
From what I've seen in the description it talks about the nano-technology, which to means that the timy particles of teflon just fill in the small pores on the paintwork surface making it more smooth and by that less attractive to all kinds of rubish. As for the 'melting/bonding' temperature i think You're absolutely right- it's about 400 degrees C (one of the reasons why it's meant to be safe for frying pans), but I thinks it rather fills the microholes in the paintwork than bonds to it. And also as You've written I have also heard that if by mistake you put a bit of the stuff on eg windscreen or other glass then you're in trouble as it is virtually impossible to remove until it disappears itself after a very long time. I'm just thinking perhaps to try it on one part of the car, but then if something goes not right the car will look all spectrum of the rainbow
.
Anyway if I try I'll write the post about the impressions...
