What is low?! If you take out solvent, what are you putting in its place? How have you concluded the above to be low solvent?

Couldn't tell you. They would almost certainly market themselves so a Google might tell you. If anyone is manufacturing in california, they would be a good place to start. As a rule, lower voc content will compromise performance but this can be recovered, albeit at quite notable cost.

What you can get is low or zero voc products. Rather than being solvent free, they use solvents which are less of an environmental concern. There won't be many about which get the zero count.

If it didn't have solvents then it would have water as a carrier, so it would be a different class of product.

My roof bleeds as bad as my bonnet. Also my glass sealant typically performs better after iron decon, so I think it worth doing the windscreen.

Sorry guys, can't give names or brands as it would go against our confidentiality policy. What I can say is that I have no particular love for any wax (which we have made or tested) which is carnauba only, or at least without some help from the silicones.

Well yes, but by the time you put away the hose or your buckets, it will have dried a fair bit. It also depends on the precise product, our fallout removers are typically spray gels which tend to stick much more so than iron-x, so even when they mix with a fair bit of surface water, they...

We manufacture for third party brands and the identity of our customers is strictly confidential, so I cannot give product names. As Bunky says, there are lots of other waxes out there. Montan is another good naturally occurring wax, then you would have the likes of beeswax and any number of...

A lot is going to depend upon whether you apply to a dry car or a wet car. It strikes me that a lot of people apply to a bone dry vehicle, which is not the way that we would recommend to use our products, in this class. By applying to a wet vehicle, it is easier to get coverage and also means it...

But the further truth is that much of the supposed performance of carnauba is coming from the 'other' ingredients. Our most popular and highest performance wax product has ZERO percent carnauba.

AF is an english based company and they are not going to claim that they manufacture elsewhere, whatever the truth. There was a whole charade with AF Desire (and the subsequent angelwax 'desirable') and the AF Citrus power (versus the angelwax product selling itself as 'the original citrus...

Yeah, you are just layering fillers on fillers on fillers. But I go back to the kicker, most of that appearance is extremely transient, no matter how you go about your order. Much of the time you could get the same effect layering your LSP, without it being any harder to do or really any more...

Oh and yes, there are sealant/glazes in one, there are many. I would put money on the fact that many of you are using them without realising it. I have long argued that the addition of a glaze seems an odd step when you could just use a different sealant which better matches your needs (or at...

I would beware of how much you let yourself be marketed to. There isn't really much you can do to make these products work together. At best I would suggest that they have been developed or tested side by side and shown to work OK. The implication of an actual synergy is almost certainly...

Sorry, I thought that I had seen some comments which were being negative towards hybrids - that's what you get for posting late in an evening after a curry! The point I was sort of making was that I doubt that many waxes are NOT hybrids these days. There really is very little good reason not to...

The hybrid teem is horrible ill defined in detailing circles. They don't need to have curable polymers, it is known that the addition of any silicone can lead to some calling their product a 'hybrid'. To be honest, I would be almost shocked to put a big brand wax through a mass spec and not find...

This is a marketing job, of course. The reality is that most people who are into detailing sufficiently to know about glazes are also the sort of people who will have a pretty good paint finish. As such, they are not needing it there to do a whole lot of filling, the glazes are just giving gloss...

The concern is the lifetime of the glaze, not that of the sealant. Short of a coating, most sealants will not suffer from the presence of a bit of filler/glaze. The question is whether there is any point sealing over a glaze, in order to prolong the life of the glaze. I strongly suspect that...

There is nothing 'durable' listed in that product but it is hard to know what 'conditioners' refer to. That could easily be a polymer blend of some kind. You would have to do a 50:50 test. Do half a bonnet with the glaze in there, half without (i.e. with a wax/LSP over the top). My suspicion is...

It doesn't appear anything all that special, to be honest. We've replicated it in lab trials but no one has yet taken it on to their brand.
