Never heard of a carnauba wax lasting 6 months. 
And why I hear someone ask-
Melting Point (Fracture/evaporation temperatures): Polymers 350oF, Silicone oil 350oF, Mineral oils 200oF, Synthetic blends (Carnauba wax / polymers) 200oF, Carnauba wax 180oF, and Bee’s wax 130oF.
In actual practice the high temperatures frequently encountered by vehicles from the radiation causes wax compounds to melt, for example, a painted surfaces exposed to ambient temperatures of 85oF in direct sunlight, will obtain a temperature of 195 degrees or more. It should be noted that there is a range of temperatures at which melting begins and that the 'melting point' is the end point of that range
Information resource- Relevant MSDS sheets

RED FLAG. According to their web page, this product contains
"....micro polishing agents and is recommended for restoring dull, oxidized finishes on older vehicles (3 years or older) and also can be used for removal of tar, bug stains, tree sap, rainspots and other embedded stains commonly found on newer vehicles."
I don't know about you but my car when it came out of the factory didn't contain "embedded stains". I don't know what this company is trying to sell.
One thing I am sure of is that this product contains abrasives and/or solvents. Logic dictates that if your car doesn't need this kind of attention, why use it.

The second one indicates that it is "a more delicate product"
and contains carnauba wax (in the second paragraph describing the product).Because of how they worded both descriptions, I stand by my original "red flag" assessment.
