Anyone tried this http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/50-fslash-50.htm 

And if so, how does it compare to the usual Swissvax / Zymol products?

Seems good value but I notice they don't mention the percentage Carnauba (the name implies 50% but I guess that is making a very big assumption and probably why they named it that way)?

It's not bad, but forget about carnauba content - the way in which Zymöl and Swissvax quote it is grossly misleading for marketing reasons.
Besides which, the amount is immaterial as to how the wax will perform and ease with which it will be able to be applied and buffed off.

50/50 isn't a bad wax, all things considered, but would be surpassed by Victoria Concors, Dodo Juice, and Raceglaze, if not Autoglym's new HD too.
Layered with Dodo Lime Prime Lite, you'll get the most wetness and depth from VC, followed by any of the £30 DJ pots.

If you sunk £100 into the new refillable DJ Supernatural and bespoke tub, you'll have something which puts Zymöl's £300+ waxes to shame, and Swiss's Mystery.

You can also dabble on the cheap with a £15 sample pot that will do 2-3 cars if you wanted to try it out.
