Souveran is a natural yellow wax with little syntentic additives....well a lot less than xmt 180. Most natural waxes cost a lot. The one i really want retails at $25k for a little bottle


I have tried both and souveran is a lot better. It doesn't last at as long but that's how it is with carnauba waxes. It's a great topper if you have a show car or something. Good stuff. I would say xmt 180 is sub par. Better than over the counter but not as good as some in the price range.
