Review: McKee`s Trademark Carnauba Wax

**Justins00ss** · 08-28-2016, 08:12 AM

Spreading out a layer of carnauba wax is an American past time like eating a hotdog and drinking a beer at Fenway Park! (Hold the comments about being from Boston lol)

There`s just something that is relaxing and enjoyable about spreading out a layer of high quality carnauba wax. Weather it`s on your garage queen or your well maintained daily driver. With all of the hype surrounding coatings these days a traditional carnauba wax still offers great benefits such as ease of use, protection and value due to the amount of applications in one container.

McKee`s Trademark Carnauba Wax has all of those benefits and because it`s from PBMG you know they only produce high quality products that are easy to use.

The test subject for this review is my sister in law 2013 Honda Civic. The thread for the detail can be seen below.

Product description from Autogeek.

McKee`s 37 Trademark Carnauba Paste Wax is a soft, pliable paste that goes on like butter and wipes off just as effortlessly. The easy application saves you time and effort. Plus, McKee`s 37 Trademark Carnauba Paste Wax does not stain rubber trim.
The shine created is nothing short of beautiful. Any color paint will appear deeper and richer with every coat of Trademark Wax. The addition of VOC compliant polymers allows the wax to bond to the paint for longer lasting protection. Carnauba wax provides UV protection, as well as resistance to acid rain and contamination. Your vehicle will be protected for up to 2 months in ideal climates.

The wax comes in a nice package similar to other high end waxes.

Upon opening the container I was greeted with a very pleasant smell. Couldn`t put my finger on it but I liked it!

For application I used the supplied foam pad. This wax literally melts on the pad with no effort! It truly like spreading melted butter.

One thing that`s nice is that you don`t have to wait for it to haze! It`s a true wipe on wipe off wax.

Wipe off was effortless and a nice shine was the result.

One thing I did notice is that immediately after wiping off the surface was smooth but not like I was expecting. I came back after an hour or so and the slickness definitely increased. Wonder if it has something to with the polymers in it.

In closing I will say that this is a very easy to use product. At 50$ for 8oz this container will last a very long time and is a pretty good value. Another great option from PBMG!
