I used the 3M Teflon wax a few years back on my old E36. It was a pain to take off but left a nice shine for about a year

Did you try this nano-tech wax?

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...

I actually plan on getting that from the front counter when I have time for a good detailing, claybar and all...
