I have also noticed that our tailpipes don't get that hot at all compared to cars with a one piece exhaust tip(meaning that it's just a pipe coming straight out of the muffler with no chrome on it).

I think it's really cool our car is on the cover, really cool.
Hopefully that means the wax is not too strong for the really cheap paint nissan uses on the car. I had a J30 many years ago. Used some Gold Klasse wax on it. It was too strong for the cheap paint. I think I'll give this NXT a try.

good for you zaino ****.
anyways, if your bottle only lasts 5 waxes then you're probably using too much product.. Generally you're supposed to use enough just to cover the surface and not cake it on. About a quarter size of the product should be enough for the whole hood.

1 - fill very small pores that may still be open on the paint surface to prevent premature aging (oxidation)
2 - protect it from the elements (washing, rain, dirt and UV) for the same reasons as #1.
Realistically - if there is a haze on the car, you've used too much. The haze is wax that could not be absorbed into the paint or was not rubbed in well enough. Either way - haze shows wax waste. Your supposed to use a small amount and only do a section, like 1/2 the hood, at one time. Rubbing the wax in the paint for a minute or two until it almost disappears completely. then move onto the next section - only buff/remove the wax after the whole car has been done.
The more wax you put on the cloth, the more work you have to do. The more often you wax the car, the less wax at each application you will use.
The key is to use a non abrasive product for frequent waxing. Use clay bar when the surface of the paint is not smooth or actually feels dry or dirty AFTER a wash, then wax it. The best practice is 2 very light coats of wax vs. a heavy coat. The more pores you close up and polish, the shinier and smoother the finish will be.
Products like WET and the like, have even smaller molecules of polymers and waxes in them, and fill even smaller pores, and are used on top of wax, to get the glossiest and smoothest finish.
