Carnauba Wax has long been the choice to enthusiasts and professionals who desire reflections that appear to dance under the paint with incredible depth. Carnauba wax is one of the hardest natural occurring waxes in nature. The result is serious protection for your ride. Carnauba wax is not quite as easy to apply as modern synthetic paint sealants, nor does it last quite as long. But when you desire the ultimate in depth of shine and a wet paint finish, there is no other choice.
Carnauba wax grows on the fawns of the Copernicia prunifera, or carnauba palm. The Copernicia prunifera is a tree that is native to northeastern Brazil. Carnauba is excreted by the tree to protect its delicate fawns from rain and sunlight. Carnauba wax, in its natural form, ranges from a dark brown to pale yellow dependent on age and purity. Premium grade carnauba, known as #1 Yellow, is used for car waxes because it offers the highest levels of gloss with minimal clouding of reflections.
When carnauba wax is exposed to water it swells. This seals the surface it is applied to and creates an extreme beading effect that causes water form into tiny droplets and run from the surface. Carnauba wax is also highly resistant to UV rays from the sun. The hard, shell-like finish created by carnauba wax resists damage from bug remains, bird bombs, and environmental fall out. In fact carnauba wax is so hard that in its natural state it is comparable to concrete!
While there are a host of Carnauba Waxes that range from around $100 to $50, which are considered some of the best on the market, including Pinnacle Souveran, Dodo Juice's range of waxes, BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun, and more, there are large selection of waxes that start around $50 and less that offer many of the same benefits as their more expensive waxes. A look at some the industry leaders in exceptional performance with a great value!
