How much Carnauba in Poorboy's Blue Wax?
 
Just curious how much carnauba is in Poorboys wax compared to Mother's or P21S. I used poorboys on my car twice now and it hasn't given me that slippery wet feel to the paint, like mother's has in the past. (Havent tried P21S yet) However I must say that the water beads like crazy and it seems to to a good job in that aspect. Plus I never have to worry about white residue like I do with mothers, getting in the jambs and stuff.

I assume its a get what you pay for ratio, but just curious if anyone knows any facts on this.

Thanks

clay bar your car before you wax it, youll have that "slippery" feel which is just uncontaminated paint and when you wax it itll just get better.

yup I use the clay bar kit from detailed image. May just be my imagination too. Seemed like you could tell the wax was on when I used mothers, poorboys = ehhh = ok

But all those nasty white marks that got in the cracks with mothers were a real pain in the ass.

I tried it and was pleased, but as you said you tend to get your money's worth. On a dark blue Jeep I was really pleased with it, but on my white pearl vehicles, I think I am going back to P21S 100% Carnauba Wax after the summer. I spoke with Greg, and based on my weather climate, applying P21S bi-weekly or monthly during the summer was not as cost effective as Natty's Blue Paste Wax, which I will definately keep in my aresenal for the summer months and darker vehicles.
