Is there any such thing as "pure" Carnuba wax without the
other stuff in car wax ? If so, where do you get it ?

I buy carnuba flake from WoodCraft and other wood finishing establishments. I use it in formulating my custom antique wood finishes.


Forget the car polish!

For bullet lube you only need 1 or 2 %.

I just buy carnuba red from White Label Lube. Great stuff and already made and a reasonable price.

Yes stick with flakes as carnuba is the hardest natural wax around and is rather difficult to mange in a big chunk.

Shred chunks of whatever you wish to use with a cheep Dollar Store kitchen grader and make your own flakes.

The carnuba wax I have been selling is in a powder form. The easiest of all to get it melted and in solution.
