Thinking of getting some for my alfetta does anyone have any experience with Carnauba waxes, I have used Mer for years, which I love, but was just wondering.

Yep, Harley Wax, great stuff and very cheap considering its 100% carnauba

Thanks will try it out

Collenite 476 S is a great durable wax finish

+1 probably the longest lasting synthetic wax made (1 year) its not Carnauba nor is it a wax, its a sealant. Carnauba aint got anything on synthetic sealant in terms of durability or long lasting. wax only lasts 4-6 weeks max and they should only last for a while since its natural ingredients

I'm using Harley wax on my 916 Spider. Lovely finish but probably not as durable as some others. Good value though.

Collinite 915 is an excellent wax, with Carnauba, and gives me around 5 months protection. To be honest, I've not noticed much difference in longevity over the 476, but 915 defo gives a better finish.

Of course it depends on how you clean your car, I actually like waxing my Spider so I use the Harley Wax but that is on top of the Collinite so its always protected but I get that deep shine from the carnauba.
I also use a Megs detailer spray in between waxes.

ok say I use this collanite business, do you clay bar it before harleying over the top?

If a sealant is added on top of the Harley wax this would give it a bit more longevity?

After the initial preparations of cut and polish, I use PBW EXP sealer then add colinite #845 x2 applications after the sealer.

I asked a friend who has a bodyshop, he prefers not to use sealant as he thinks paint should be able to breathe, that's just his 2 pence. Although he says used correctly can be effective, but he doesnt

I use it quite regularly after a wash and the white paint has definitely kept its depth of colour over the winter.

That's only applicable during the first month of the paint curing.

Nope. You wax after you seal, doing it the other way round reduces the life of both products.

Would that be the same for Project 32?
