Re: P21s blue vs gray?
So the blue lid isn't 100% carnauba but clearly has it in it. Any idea on % and what else is in it?

I haven't used either myself, but I've heard the 100% is a bit of a PIA

The blue is a little easier to remove and IMO when of the better looking nuba's out there.

"Ingredients"
•I have found out over the years that car-care
products manufacturers are hesitant to list all
of their products' ingredients and percentages
because they fear that others can then go and
try to reproduce their products.
•Yet...
-I'm sure there is a lot of "reverse engineering"
going on behind the scenes...even some that
have had successful results.
______________________________________________
•On occasion...P21S's Customer Service has
explained that in their opinion there are three
categories of ingredients in paste wax:
-"raw wax"
-an oil component
-a dissolving agent.
To note:
•An MSDS from the car-care industry won't tell
you everything that you are expecting to find.
All you are going to find are things like:
-Product Name
-If it contains Hydrocarbons
-Danger Class
-Use
-Appearance
-Boiling Point
-Specific Gravity
-Flashpoint
-Solubility in water
-Health Effects
•None of which will answer any
questions you are looking for.
-The rest is usually listed as being
"proprietary"; or not legally required
(as of yet).
With all that in mind:

****************************************
"Percentages"
•The 100% Carnauba in the name refers
only to the "raw wax" content. (They like
to point-out that the carnauba used is pure,
#1 grade, Brazilian carnauba from the
copernica cerifera tree.
•Manufacturers have "colorful" ways of
measuring their Waxes percentages.
-It's not necessarily a total falsehood/(lie)
what they say it is—they gotta come up
with a measurement somehow—but it is
misleading—[maybe a little disingenuous(?)]
•Will they ever say:
-"No we don't mean 47% of the total content...
only the content that is Wax"; or:
-"We measure volume this way".
•Of course not!
-They let Consumers think what they think, and
the way they think, because the marketing works.
•Here's some more "wax percentage"
information from P21S Customer Service:
-"We do not divulge percentages of
ingredients in our products. It does contain
carnauba, enough to provide a contribution
to the superior performance of the product,
that our customers have experienced and
praised for years".
