What is Carnauba Wax?                               

Carnauba (car-NOW-ba) is a vegetable fat obtained from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree called the "Tree of Life" (Copernica Cerifera), in its natural state, is harder than concrete. One of its most interesting properties is that it swells and closes its pores when exposed to water.

Having a great affinity to water, Carnauba has the ability to retain oil and has excellent gloss properties making it applicable in many industries, including cosmetics, automotive an food.

Carnauba is the hardest natural wax and has lustrous composition making it the leading choice for food coatings, pharmaceutical coatings and polishes.

Being a natural plant by-product that does not react with paint, Carnauba provides a very hard barrier over your car's surface to protect against airborne contaminants such as acid rain, bugs, tar, road grime, salt and bird droppings. Carnauba also dramatically reduces paint oxidation by diffusing (refracting) UV and infrared radiation from the sun.

Paint experts agree that Brazilian Carnauba is the wax of choice for the best automotive finishes.

Defining the Terms

To Protect and Shine

As a general term for the final step in detailing, after compounding and other automobile finish repair techniques, wax is any of several blends which protect a car's paint and make it shine-whether or not the mix actually includes a wax (like carnauba).

A Finishing Coat on a Car serves two purposes

1) Protection-Waxes serve as a sacrificial barrier so that acid rain, pine pitch and other contaminants attack the wax rather than the paint finish.

2) Shine-Waxes help improve the reflection of light off the car, making the finish look brighter, smoother and more attractive.

Durability and Frequency

Waxes are temporary barriers against the elements. They are expected to last about two to three months or less, depending on the formula and the level of protection and shine that the car owner desires. Often, however, the more often a consumer gets their car waxed, the better.

Where the motorist stores their car can effect this schedule. A car that is garaged at both home and work, and thus spends little time exposed to the elements, will have a tendency to hold onto its wax coat longer.

The age of the car can effect the outcome of the wax job, or the amount of time the shine lasts.

A high quality wax, such as Carnauba, that is used in No-Wet Waterless Car Wash is formulated to leave only a certain thickness of wax on the car, no matter how many "coats" you apply. Therefore, you will never get any wax buildup and your car's paint will always be protected and retain that shine you desire.
