I'm sadly moving to a house with no garage and am concerned about parking my car outside and the effects that could have on my paint. The car is a 2000 BMW 540i. Paint is in great shape now. I wash it and buff wax in about twice a month depending on the season. Also worth mentioning I just did paint correction on the car and polished the whole thing so it's at a point where I want to seal that clean scratch free paint in.
I'm wondering if this (wax/sealants) will be enough measure to protect my paint being outside in the heat. Oh it's Texas heat by the way, so >100°F is all too common.
The driveway has three spots... One under a tree and two in direct light. Should I go for the tree spot and risk contaminates or just keep it out in the heat? I can't afford much at all right now so I'm not sure I could go for ppf or ceramic coating done by a pro just yet.

Can't totally answer your question but I will recommend that you switch from wax (assuming you are using a carnauba wax) and go with a synthetic sealant. Your every 2 week waxing routine could then be extended to 3-6 months, depending on the product and the condition of your paint. I like Jescar (formerly Menzerna) PowerLok. The next level above that is ceramic coating, at additional cost.
