Of all the different products i've used over the years my absolute fav for washing my cars is.......Murphy's Oil Soap.......yes plain old 3.00 a bottle oil soap. I had an 88 BMW cabriolet for many many years that i only washed with the stuff and almost daily someone would ask where i had just gotten my car painted and how good it looked. My first ex was a nuclear chemist who suggested why not try it on my car. At first i thought she hit her head when she reminded me that car paint is basically....oils...and pigment so i tried it and WOW!!! it's also a cumulative process; being the more you use it the better it looks. Also it seems to even keep non metal materials from drying out and i never need to wax!

P21S 100% Carnauba Wax is P21S’s first car wax made with only pure carnauba wax. No beeswax or paraffin wax – just true Brazilian carnauba. You’ll see the same deep reflections and shine you’ve come to expect from P21S wax with an even more impressive wet look. Your vehicle will ripple with gloss under a coat of P21S 100% Carnauba Wax!

Read about it here: P21S 100% Carnauba Wax is P21S's first car wax made with pure carnauba wax, no other waxes. P21S pure carnauba car wax, P21s car wax, P21S carnuba

You are NOT going to get a tube of 100% pure Carnauba wax for $49. It just isn't going to happen. You wouldn't be able to work 100% pure Carnauba anyway. It would be like mashing a brick against the side of your car.

Yes I agree with you.
100% of a product does not necessarily mean, the entire contents, all ounces, all pounds, all gallons, all the fluids ARE 100%.
That is not possible.
Example being Carnauba Wax HAS to have a Carrier agent. Something to dispense it. You need coloring. You need stabilization agents. Optical enhancers. Possible cleaning agents. Petroleum distillates. and the list goes
on and on and on.

When you buy Orange Juice, and it says 100% Orange Juice, that may be technically correct. That it does not have fillers, but if its reconstituted it has to have Water added to it. Maybe High Fructose Corn Syrup.
But it is, technically, 100% Orange Juice. Are they lying? No
Are they misleading you? Possibly.

You have to learn to "read into" what Manufacturers are selling you.

Made in America? But parts assembled elsewhere?
Made in Germany, but with Asian-electronics

For me? I use Synthetic Polymers and am happy with the protection.
Carnauba Wax is fine. But it doesn't get me all giddy and crazy inside.

Percentage of wax content- most carnaubas advertised with 50% or more Carnauba wax content is truly advertising a weight, not a volume. 30% by volume is about 50% by weight is about the maximum content (approx 35% Carnauba by volume makes it almost impossible to add/remove) that’s why you never can truly assess the amount of Carnauba in a manufactured wax unless the manufacturer specifically lists its content percentage by weight or volume. When making a comparison ensure you compare like with like i.e. % volume or % weight
