Low solvent or no solvent waxes (paste)

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

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.
 
I think all the "Jeweling" waxes are low solvents. Pinnacle Sourveran, Dodo Juice, Poorboy's Natty's Waxes, Sonax 100% Carnauba, P21S 100% Carnauba, Blackfire Midnight Sun, Vics Red. I could name quite a few others, but these IMO are low solvent waxes and are great "show car" waxes.

All have low VOC content (Volatile Organic Compounds).

I hope this helps.

I have their brochure as I bought P21S 100% Carnauba Wax from AGO during their Christmas Sale and from reading their brochure P21S and their products are "eco" friendly. Based on that I think it meets the "low solvent" criteria. Either way they are all great waxes.

I think you are looking for a "jeweling" wax not a cleaner/Wax or a hybrid wax. They seem to be low in solvents. I have most of the ones mentioned in the previous post and a couple of more. All are great!

Aren't "Volatile Silicones" substitutes/alternatives for solvents?

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?

Absolutely but at 10 times the cost and nowhere near the flexibility. It is hard to get the hydrocarbons out without extending the cost or compromising performance.

Why do they have to be in the form of a "paste"?

Out of interest, what are we meaning by paste? We are talking about solid wax, sold in pots... Not thick creamy liquids?

A jeweling wax is more of a show car wax. They do not last as long as a sealant or hybrid wax. I think of a jeweling wax a high content carnauba wax.....BOB FUNX725 please chime in if you have the answer.

The final "Final" step in the LSP. Hard to explain...help BOB!!....LOL

"Jeweling Wax" is a newly-coined detailing-term by Mike Phillips: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/85290-jewelling-wax.html

My take is that you may have been thinking more on the lines of "jeweling polishes":
Menz 4500; 3M Ultrafina; and others of their ilk.
