Re: Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax
I used this once over a coat of Klasse DGS (I've since moved on from) just to see what the carnauba would do to appearance...(turned out I liked the sealant look better anyway). The durability was roughly 3 weeks for a DD that was not garaged. It didn't wear evenly, some panels lost it sooner, especially the sun beaten ones. It melted off fairly quickly, but the appearance was very nice. I think it was an extremely close comparison to Megs Carnauba Plus. Only difference was the Mother's had no polymers or cleaners in it. Very similar appearance and durability. I used it once and gave the rest to my father. It is pure C. so there's elbow grease to be used (if not using DA which I didn't have mine at time of use) and for length of longevity, I'd just as soon use some Collinite 845 which gives an even better appearance. I don't detail for a living, it's just a hobby. **All of this is just opinion and preference, I didn't say a word about coatings!.**

IMO: No...Not really.
For one thing:
•M26's D.O.I. "Rules the Roost!!"
Also...a couple other differences:
•It's highly unlikely that M26 contains any:
-Turpentine, CAS# 008006-64-2
•It's highly unlikely that Mother's California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax contains any of:
-Meguiar's "Trade Secret" Conditioners.

Re: Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax
I like Mothers paste wax durable with a nice look. You just need to apply thinly and evenly for ease of removal after it hazes.

You sold me on 915 and now have all 3 of the Collinite waxes.

Re: Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax
The Mother's wax you speak of, I've used before. I only used it once; here's why:
1: Shine was okay, not outstanding.
2: I noticed how much dust was on my van just days later. I believe the wax attracts/holds on to dust.
3: The wax dusted a bit upon removal.
4: The wax is oily, pink, and smells like a urinal cake.
5: I have other waxes in my collection that are far better.

Re: Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax
I've had the same tin since the late 90's. I believe that statement might speak for itself. If not, I pass it over for M26, or Zymol Carbon. I even like the Surf City past wax over the Mother's.
