Zymol royalle is all marketting, but it is an excellent wax. The price goes beyond it's abilities tenfold.
You are correct, as the % is interpreted in a special way, but they are actually referring to the previous version of their carnauba wax - which also contained beeswax to make it more pliable. I suspect they discovered a new carrier for the wax, so the beeswax is no longer needed. They definitely made it just as easy to apply without the need for the lighter waxes. If you've tried it, you will be hooked. So, really they might be trying to be a tad bit misleading, but honestly they are referring to their previous product. They're very specific with their products, and I have never noticed P21s to market their products in such a way. Seems more 'industrial' but is eaten up by the picky detailers because of how basic the wax and their other products are, nothing that you don't need at all. It's great stuff, all of it.

That was paint correction that caused the most turnaround, not the wax, particularly a high-end was with no caolin clay fillers.

When making a comparison ensure you compare like with like i.e. % volume or % weight |
Yep, beeswax was a major additive in the previous version of P21S, still was amazing. It was this that was giving it the easy application and wipeoff.
EDIT: Looks like you all mostly got to it before me! :P Beeswax is key, amoung some various oils.
Haven't you used this stuff before? It's glorious, even the old formula. The new one is even better. Here's a posted by one of the best detailers in the USA, if not one of the best in the world no doubt.
Incredible photos BTW, surely you should check it out...
