montan, like beeswax does absolutely nothing for protection or benefits to a cars paint finish. It does sound like a mixture of a Zymol Estate Glaz however.
I am just unsure how this fits, since their Hardcore XXX and CG5050 are already white carnauba and truthfully DONT look all that different in outcome.
I see they offer a couponcode, anyone know it ??

Mainly my point was that the formulas are similar. I was not trying to make any statement about these ingredients lending any positive attributes to the overall product. I've seen some in the past post the ingredients of a product to argue positive/negative attributes (likely information from another source which they are simply regurgitating). I however would never do that as I am well aware that I am not a chemist. BTW, I know this seems like a defensive post but I was not offended by your post at all.
Also, I would love the CG's coupon code if anyone knows it too!

Montan wax is made from young coal deposits...it is in effect a fossilized plant wax. Its melting point is 82-95 °C. which is also white when refined
taken from wikipedia
Montan wax in polishes improves scuff resistance and increases water repellence, and imparts high gloss.

No offense taken nor issued. I too am no scientist but have listened to others and read alot about waxes. As offered, this offering does sound ALOT like a certain "other" offering by a company starting with Z.
What I have found over the years is that beeswax helps with beading. It is used in even those car wash/wax AIO type deals because it "looks" waxed when you see beading. Montan, as offered has a relatively low boiling point, and is used as softer wax. Neither offers any of the benefits that the carnauba ingredient does. Infact, when Souveran was designed the chemist purposely designed without them and was in a story Terri originally wrote about the wax. (use search , too lazy to track)
As we all know most waxes share ingredients. That doesnt make one look exactly the same as others either. So I did like you all did, I ordered it.
