Carnauba wax itself does not give the high shine; it’s the other things that are cut into it (oils) that gives Carnauba its shine. The sun and Carnauba do not play together well. The sunnier and hotter it gets the faster Carnauba deteriorates/melts. When that starts to happen the added oils migrate to the surface and start to evaporate.
FACT: On a sunny 80°F day the surface temp of a black car can easily reach 150°F. For each 10°F rise in ambient temp a black cars surface temps can easily rise another 25°F.
