Default Searching for the longest lasting wax

I would like to find a wax that would allow me the longest intervals between re-application. Some people swear by Collinite Liquid 845, but I would like to hear if there are better options.
I live in N. California where winters get down into the 30's, but no snow.
Summers can easily get into the 100s, especially when I take trips in my car to Nevada, Arizona in the scorching summer.
Thanks

Sealants hold up to high temps a little better than carnauba waxes do so I'd suggest a sealant. The longest lasting sealants I've used are Zaino or Meguiar's NXT 2.0. For carnauba based products Collinite and Meguiar's #16 are the most durable I've used.

Collinite 476 is the paste version and it lasts even longer. Just doesn't have the look 845 has thats all

For natural carnauba waxes I've gotten great durability and shine from the Dodo Juice waxes.

If you get a synthetic wax (aka sealant) you will get far more durability than any natural wax I have ever used. Some of the most durable sealants I have used are the Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger and the Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze (HGSG). Let me know if you have any questions about these recommendations.

I havent found a better combination than Blackfire Wet-Ice Over Fire Shine Kit or even just BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection.

Here is a Porsche where I applied two coats of Wet Diamond Paint Protection.


And a 370Z..
