Most carnauba waxes have solvents or carriers. It's just the way it has to be to allow you to apply it to your car. Be it liquid or paste wax, they have to add manmade materials to allow you to apply it. Pure carnauba wax would be like a brick, so don't buy into the hype of 100% pure carnauba waxes. It's just not possible. Most carnauba waxes actually only have a fairly small amount of carnauba in them (mixed with other waxes and manmade materials) with the amount of carnauba in a paste wax being higher than a liquid. I believe about the highest content of carnauba in a car wax is something like 20-25% - and that's a statement coming from a chemist who makes the stuff.
