Default Teflon bonds at very high temps (which you won't be using when waxing)...
so whatever it is that you're buying that contains teflon is a marketing gimmick.

Default yup. I believe its around 700degrees,that's the only way for it to bond, it wont just rub or buff
on. THe was may contain teflon, but it wont do jack. And if you're wondering why they don't make a car with a teflon coating, well, your paint wont hold up too well at 700 degrees.
