Carnauba is one of the most popular types of wax for polishing cars and is preferred. It is one of the hardest waxes available and produces a fantastic shine without clouding and is durable. It is known for its shimmering wet look.  This wax is been around for a long time. To be exact, it was introduced to Europe about 1504 by the Portuguese. No wonder why it is recommended for a variety of cars such as hot rods, collectible cars, and show cars.

Carnauba protects paint surfaces from extreme heat, sun, rain and humidity. This wax is produced from the leaves and buds of the Brazilian wax palm in Brazil. The leaves are boiled in water, the wax floats to the surfaces and is skimmed off and filtered. Carnauba wax is harvested twice a year and its marketing is controlled by the Brazilians.

There are so many other uses for Carnauba, here are just a few:

  • Used in cosmetics
  • Polishing Wood
  • To coat pills
  • Used for porcelain and ceramic
  • Coating on dental floss

 

Carnauba is an easy wax to work with. Simply start of with a clean cloth and apply very light pressure. You do not need to apply wax more than 2 times to get desired results. Let dry and buff.
