Yeh...The terminalogy that so many vendors are using really confuses the
buyer...For example.."NXT tech wax" is a sealant..why dont they tell you
that? The list goes on an on..I have found though that most product's that
are pure carnauba will say so though.

http://www.autopia.org/ is a site full of guy's like you that have been
doing this for years as a full time job..And man..they get into little pissing
matches over there on who's doing it the correct way,and it is downrite
funny sometime's..But most all of them will agree that( on a properly prepped
finish) there is a difference in looks with a sealant/carnauba...not huge..
but it's there..And most all of them will prefer a good carnauba (pinnacle
souveren usually) on black and red's and other dark colors..And if it's a
silver or white vehicle, they will use a sealant because it will give a
real bright reflective look which is what these light colors need to pop.
Now some will top a sealant with a carnauba to get the durability
of a sealant along with the warmth of a carnauba..Here's a thread
on the carnauba/ sealant debate.
