The downfalls of carnuba
Can someone give me some negatives on using a carnuba as a LSP. I heard it doesn't last very long. What else?

Re: The downfalls of carnuba
Downsides to using carnauba might be:
Little to no UV protection
No buffer against swirls
No long-term protection
Can only be layered with marginal benefits
Dust Magnet
Low melting point
Most are much more difficult to work with
Low reflectivity
All contain high solvents
Don't let that stop you though. also not all wax react the same. that's just a run down from what i gather from other members.

A Carnauba Paste such as Collinite 476 Super Doublecoat may very well last just as long as top tier sealants under the exact same conditions, such as Menzerna Powerlock, Zaino, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, Klasse, Duragloss.
Where all of them I believe can fall short, is what these products will be subject to? Acids-Alkalies, Chemicals, Bird Bombs, Abrasions, and of course eventually, UV degradation can and will harm these coatings mentioned above. None IMO are perfect. Is anything?
Some of the new fangled nano coatings Exo, OptiGuard, CQuartz, and the like are somewhat different in their nature, and composition. And in some respects, their protection.

It is less durable, but most will offer it looks delicious and wetter than most sealants

Doesn't last very long, unless you want to spend $1500 on some Swissvax Crystal Rock.

Dust magnet. For me I don't care how good it looks...if after five minutes the car looks like I parked it next to a street sweeper, forget about it.
I only use it for car shows. Period.
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.
