I assume you are responding to Carnauba vs Synthetic, and the following Carnauba cons:
- Contain petroleums and oils -
A car with carnauba that is touched may feel oily and leave a greasey streak on the surface.
- Dusting -
Carnaubas are commonly known to dust when buffed out.
- No repellency -
Carnauba attracts and holds dust and other particles.
There is a statement at the bottom of that post which states The information above has been compiled from various sites.
I witnessed Pinnacle Souveran in the sun on a black car 1. attract and hold dust and other particles as well as "greasey" streaks on the surface where people had touched it. My self testing of various carnaubas netted the same results.
Not knowing what's in the product you use nor having used it, I cannot comment on it. You may be confusing carnauba with a carnauba-synthetic blend which is different. Can you provide me a link to "pinnacle's carnuaba for light colored cars"?
Regardless, the other points regarding carnauba still stand - durability, cloudy finish vs synthetic, VOC issues, low melting point, inability to layer, etc.
Have you tried Optimum, Menzerna, Poorboy's, Four Star, WolfGang, etc.? Synthetics are extremely easy to apply and remove. Local CEGers who have watched me detail can attest to that.
