Carnauba Car Wax vs. Paint Sealants

Carnauba Car Wax vs. Paint Sealants
Learn the facts on Car wax!

You have two basic choices when it comes to paint protection: carnauba wax or synthetic paint sealant. Here you’ll find information on each so you can choose the paint protection that’s right for you.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Carnauba Waxes
Carnauba wax is the preferred car wax of collectors and concours enthusiasts because it creates a rich, warm glow. It doesn’t appear to sit on the paint. It transforms the paint into a deep, liquid pool that shimmers under changing light conditions. The more carnauba wax, the more shine.

The wax is produced by the Brazilian Tree of Life, a palm tree, in order to coat its leaves. The wax provides protection from the sweltering sun and it sheds water so it falls onto the ground and is absorbed by the tree’s roots. If you think back to junior high science class, you might remember that plants release oxygen through their leaves. For this reason, carnauba wax is breathable. Good for the tree and good for your paint.


Carnauba is rock hard in its natural form. When the leaves of the Tree of Life are harvested, the wax flakes off as the leaves dry out, or they are put into a machine that removes the wax. It comes off in hard flakes. Car Wax makers have to blend the wax with oils, petroleum distillates, or a solvent called naptha (commonly used to thin wood varnishes and paints) in order to make the wax workable. The very best carnauba-based car wax is only about 1/3 natural carnauba. It’s probably for the best since the price gets higher and higher as the concentration of carnauba rises. When a product advertises “pure carnauba car wax” or “100% carnauba car wax”, they are referring to the purity of the carnauba that is in the product, not the product as a whole. One example is Mother’s California Gold Pure Carnauba Paste Wax.

That brings us to grading. Carnauba is harvested and then graded according to color, purity, and where it was grown. Trees grown in the northern area of Brazil produce the highest grade carnauba. The yellow wax is the most pure and therefore receives the highest grade. This is the grade most commonly used in high end car waxes and in the pharmaceutical industry as a pill coating.

Some manufacturers refine the yellow wax again into an ultra-pure white wax to ensure that the wax produces the clearest, most reflective gloss once applied to the paint. Such is the case with Pinnacle Souveran and Pinnacle Signature Series II.


As you’ve already read, carnauba protects the leaves of a palm tree from the intense heat and humidity experienced in Brazil. The carnauba car wax repels water and, consequently, most contaminants. When applied to any surface, carnauba retains these characteristics. Therefore, an application of a carnauba-based car wax to your vehicle will protect it from UV rays, heat, moisture, oxidation, and environmental contamination. And it looks like a million bucks!

The drawback of carnauba waxes, if you can call it a drawback, is that it does not last as long as a synthetic sealant. A carnauba car wax finish will wear off in approximately 6 to 8 weeks. It depends heavily on the climate in which you live and whether or not your vehicle is garaged. Daily commutes in a hot, humid climate mean a shorter life span for your carnauba wax coat. If you enjoy regular waxing, then the life span of a carnauba wax is just one more reason to indulge in your favorite hobby!
Pinnacle Souverän™ sets the standard
for carnauba paste waxes!

In a nutshell, carnauba car wax is the wax of enthusiasts. It appeals to people who want the absolute most stunning show car shine available and are willing to spend a couple of hours every month or so to get it. Most of them will tell you it is time well spent.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Paint Sealants
Paint sealants are kind of the anti-carnauba. They last a lot longer, they are easy to apply, and there’s nothing natural about them. This is surface science at its best.

A paint sealant is made of polymers, which are composed of tens of thousands of synthetic particles that are linked together. When a sealant bonds to your vehicle’s paint, it forms a rigid shell. It is not the warm carnauba that seems to melt into the paint. Paint sealants sit on top of the paint like a transparent chain metal suit. They are glossy and slick, but carnauba lovers will tell you they do not have the warmth and depth of a carnauba.

Paint sealants have gotten progressively more popular as time goes on. Some people really love the hard-as-glass look. In an industry that is driven by technology, it seems appropriate that an engineered paint protector is the new favorite among many detailers.


However, the real selling point of a paint sealant is the durability. A premium paint sealant can last 4 to 6 months, sometimes longer. Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze, for example, can last up to 12 months. Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 lasts the more typical 4 to 6 months. By “last”, I mean that water will continue to bead and the paint will remain protected from UV rays and contamination. For people that spend more time driving than detailing, the paint sealant is the way to go.

Paint sealants are extremely easy to apply. They are always in liquid form and they spread easily by hand or with a polisher. This time-saving feature makes paint sealants an attractive choice for those who like instant gratification, and who doesn’t?

As you’ve seen, there are a lot of differences between paint sealants and natural carnauba waxes. Glassy, hard shell or deep, liquid shine? Six months or six weeks? These are the basic questions you have to answer before selecting your paint protection.


However, a growing number of enthusiasts simply refuse to choose. Instead, they coat their vehicles with a layer of sealant for long-lasting protection and then top it with a layer of carnauba for the dazzling shine. Even if you forget to reapply carnauba in 6 weeks, your paint won’t suffer. The Forum Favorite Kit will give a prime example of the shine you can get from a sealant topped with a carnauba. It’s the perfect marriage of beauty and longevity!

Remember, paint protection is one of your vehicle’s basic necessities. No matter what kind of product you choose, Autogeek has got your vehicle covered.

I have a 2006 Yellow Vette along with the 2010 BumbleBee. I began with Zaino, but found that it was to much work having three other cars (5) total to keep up with. I have switched to Wolfgang Fuzion from Autogeek. It has an excellent slickness to it without a greasy feel and it is a pure wax on wax off product. I love it. Several of my coworkers even asked if I changed something, because the car has a wet look to it. I think Fuzion looks the best on yellow and red cars. It is a bit pricey, but I got a great deal over the holidays. Autogeek had the 8oz Fuzion Estate wax on sale for $129.99 with an additional 15% off holiday special. That brought the total to $110.49 shipped and included a free 8oz refill. So, that was 16oz for $110.49. To my surprise when I received the package, the had also thrown in their 3oz trial size that they sell for 49.99. So in the end, I got 19oz for $110.49. GREAT DEAL! I gave the 3oz jar to my father-in-law who just purchased a black Chevy truck and he loves the ease and depth of the wax. The 8oz jar with refill usually runs $175.00, but you can always get it on sale or special. I would start off with the trial 3oz for $49.99 and see what you think. I promise you will not be disappointed. It makes the yellow pop with a slick wet look. It's fantastic.

How long does it take you to put on the two coats.I use adams on all my cars and trucks plus my trailers.My toy hauler which is 41' long takes 2-3 hours.How long with zaino?

[edog]

I use ZAINO. I have really enjoyed the product. Over the years I have used many waxes, but they were all to difficult to work with. Zaino goes on easy, you only use 1 to 2 ounces on the car, and it comes off with little effort.

I never get tired of showing off my ride!

Also, just as the last picture illustrates. Zaino repels foreign objects rather easily...

[NAHURRY]

Well...since were showing..The first is when I took delivery..The last 3 is
with the Zaino treatment.

I saw in walmart for $16 Tutle wax ice 'clay bar kit' with some wax product but also a clay bar. I also saw the Meguires at the same price.

For $14 they have the Turtle wax ice paste only. I still think I will go with one of these as its synthetic and needs only infrequent application and yet looks good per member recommendations!

BTW: I asked one of my friends who keeps his car nice what he would recommend. He buys some fancy $120 wax system for his car as he says "why would you spend $40k on a car and get the cheap wax to keep it looking good?" I will NOTE: I know that he also buys his infant son walmart brand formula (rather than the name brand). I view that is hypocritical or someone with messed up priorities... and yes I called him on it!

I'm using Meguires California Gold system with the Carnuba wax. I was using the liquid carnuba wax, but i'm switching to the paste wax. The liquid wax doesn't last long, but it looks great on my yellow car.

Now that's funny there.

It only takes me about an hour to apply the Z-2 (forgot the name of it before) to my Camaro. It goes on very smooth and can be left on the car overnight if you don't have time to wait for it to dry. The wax will never harden and comes off very easily. I have actually noticed that if I leave the wax on the car for about a day before I wipe it off the car looks better.

"NXT Generation® Tech Wax® 2.0 Paste is a scientific breakthrough that introduces a new dimension of gloss and protection. This improved formula produces unbelievably deep, vibrant color and a dramatically clear wet look. New Hydrophobic Polymer Technology™ provides relentless water beading and protection against oxidation, corrosion, UV rays and surface degradation. "Hydrophobic" means "water-fearing" and this new breakthrough technology builds such incredible protection and surface tension that water beads up and just glides off your paint finish, wash after wash!"

That is from their website which is: http://meguiarsdirect.com/detail/MEG+G12711

Check it out you might like it.

it's an overpriced carnuba wax. i bought it and did 1/2 my black Sierra Denalis hood in it, and the other 1/2 with Nu Finish........Nu Finish hands down looked better and is $7/bottle.

be sure to use Clear Seal after every coat! wipe it on and let it air dry!

A few of the products mentioned in this thread are outstanding. I am not a fan of the OTC products, but the professional lines are excellent. Since you are looking for a product other than Zaino, I present to you the look of Adam's. Not only does it work, it is made in the USA and very simple to use. For those of you who have posted pictures of your cars, I think to myself, "Hey, those are new cars! They should look good!" Now here's my 2001, with close to 115,000 miles on it. That's 9 year old paint. I drive the mess out of it and in this picture, it doesn't have one drop of wax on it. The only thing that I have done up to this picture is used the Adam's Swirl and Haze Remover and then followed that with the Adam's Fine Machine Polish.



As someone else stated in this thread, color has absolutely nothing to do with what professional product you use. The product doesn't care what color it is being used on, "it's gonna do what it do." So color means nothing. It's all in the product and your technique.
