It looks like 2005 will about about mixing products, inventing new waxes, etc. instead of trying new products LOL! This is going to be great!

:up Been there, done that!!!
I thought I was the only one to try this! Congrats eShine!!!
Past summer I was mixing Sonax Xtreme1 with Soft99 and just a little beeswax. Wow!
I have used only a few pieces, portioned with a small spoon. To avoid aggressive heat & possible burns, I melted the carnaubas in waterbath, as you would melt chocolate.
Turned out to be a wooo(w)nderful product!!! I just made too little of it...
I need more carnaubas to experiment again... :bigups

This thread is hilarious.
Todd has been mixing QDs and stuff for a while.

For what you're intending to make I'd use a different "glaze". The #80 is less of a glaze and more of an abrasive polish. The mix you're considering would make a cleaner wax, and a fairly abrasive one at that (which might not be a bad thing either).
To be honest, don't waste a whole tin of your favorite waxes, simply try a little at a time. That way, if you don't like the results, you'll still have some of the original to use....Like eshine stated earlier, if your not 150% comfortable doing this, don't! I don't recommend doing this, unless you take the necessary safety precautions, and understand that there may be potential risks involved! Be safe, and Use Extreme Caution!

JUST FOR FUN: :bounce
As I have posted at the beginning of this thread, I wanna try #80 speed glaze with some carnauba and synthetic polymers.
The Product = Lab Sample GlazeXT (ala NXT sample before)
The Formula = 2 spoonful of #80 + 1 spoonful of NXT + 1 spoonful of #26
The Smell = NXT's smell is retained
The color = creamy white yellow brown (is there such?)
Appearance (of the liquid) = shiny, reflects light like solid (HEHEHE)
Used a plastic cup and a chopstick to mix the product. Applied some product on the spare tire cover of the CR-V (body color, with CC) It's night time here, but improves the reflection. (can't wait for the sunrise to see!!!)
The rationale:
Put some polymer glaze on NXT plus some nice carnauba darkening effect. A polish which has the consistency of a polymer sealant with some carnauba effect...(did I understand what I'm saying???)
Post the pics if results were outstanding! else......forget it....

For safety's sake I suggest using a double pan method as bence suggested.
Get two pots, the smaller one should fit in the larger one. Put water in the larger pot & bring it to a boil. Put the carnauba products in the smaller pot & put the small pot in the larger pot with the boiling water, keep applying heat to the larger pot so the water stays boiling.
Same result & safer 'cause you're not applying direct heat to the pot with the carnauba but the boiling 212* water will do the trick.
Now someone's got to come up with a recipe for "carnauba helper".

That does seem to be the case.
I would suggest melting some S100 since it's very easy to use and throw in some pure carnauba wax found here:
http://www.alfa.com/CGI-BIN/LANSAWEB?WEBEVENT+L0972992D2EE58900B070044+ALF+ENG
If the link doesn't work then just go to www.alfa.com and do a product search for carnauba.
Carnauba melts at about 182 Degrees so a double boiler would work and wouldn't burn the wax. I would suggest mixing one part pure carnauba and two parts S100 and you will be sure to have a very high % carnauba and possibly something similar to the $400 zymol waxes.
