The other waxes are a necessity in order to get the wax soft enough to put on a car. The reason that they specify the amount of the Type one White (No such thing actually, it is actually a light yellow or tan) is to specify how protective the wax is, of course the higher the content the higher the protection. Thats what make Zymol Royale stand out from the crowd. Until Paul's wax releases it is the highest Type1 Caranuba wax there is. When Paul's wax releases it will have the same Type1 content as zymol royale, or at least it supposed to.

Hehe I know that cause I had the same question and did a crap load of research on it. Thought I would post what I found.
there is white caranuba, but it is not natural it requires bleaching and a couple other refining methods. but it will be a perfect white.

upper 30s is the highest you can have of wax by volume. or it is a rock!
