Wax reccomendations? Or stick with Mothers?

On reccomendation I got this nearly a year ago but you can see it's nearly gone!

Is there anything else I should try ?

I understand a pure carnauba without any cleaning chemicals is the way to go but is there a better alternative to Mothers that I can get in the UK?

I have a few issues with Mothers that might be user error.
For one it's very crumbly, no matter how I apply it I seem to find crumbs on it on the playfield or stuck to the balls after one game. It's more annoying on Diner as these crumbs find themselves under the playfield protector and it looks horrible (I know there's arguments against using wax on pf protectors but I have been experimenting).

Hit me with your wax reccomendations or tell me what I'm doing wrong😆
 

Same as P21S in the states

Is it a similar consistency to mother's? I'm struggling with the crumbliness of it
 
No, it's good at not leaving white dry residue following application.

Holds on to the applicator well also so it's not dropping where you don't want it to go,

Ignoring the crumbs, if it looks applied ok I somehow get bits on the ball which then get trailed over the playfield....like skid marks 😳
 
I think in general most carnuba paste waxes are fine, I like Dodo Juice personally, goes on smooth and definitely not crumbly.

Could get a small tester pot for a few quid to see if you get on with it.
