from what i've learned over the years i thought it was impossible to use carnauba wax in it's purest form. Was pretty sure you needed to add solvents to make the wax spreadable.
I wouldnt use it personally, stick to my collinite no. 476!

i would rarther not tbh. cant imagine a 16 pound wax containing 100% either lol.
althogh reading that i dont think there trying to say it contains 100% i think there saying its 100% yellow brazilian carnauba wax no other wax mixed??

correct you can't have a 100% wax. what they mean by this is that the only natural wax used is a carnuba.

It doesn't say the wax is 100% carnauba. It says it uses 100% carnauba. There could only be 10% carnauba in the wax, they've just written it that way so people fall for thinking its actually 100%. Try using 100% carnauba on your paintwork and see if it leaves it anything but scratched to hell lol
