Carnauba (car-NOW-ba) is a vegetable wax obtained from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree called the “Tree of Life” (Copernica Cerifera).  Pure Carnauba, in its natural state, is harder than concrete.  Professional Chemical Guys products are engineered to not separate. The unique emulsification of quality raw chemicals allows our products to retain integrity and always deliver the top quality professional results our customers are accustomed to. Chemical Guys unique Carnauba emulsification process is best summaries and defined as 3X Carnauba, 2X Carnauba, and 1X Carnauba, the number signifies the best products our premium #1 Brazilian carnauba can be mixed and emulsified with:

• 3XCarnauba- Brazilian Grade a top Quality #1 Carnauba best emulsified with Sealants and reactive silicones.
• 2XCarnauba- Brazilian Grade a top Quality #1 Carnauba best emulsified with Waxes and some glazes that contain synthetic wax or alternative waxes.
• 1XCarnauba- Brazilian Grade A top Quality #1 Carnauba best emulsified with Water based products such as quick detail sprays and Carwash Shampoos.

Carnauba is the hardest natural wax and has lustrous composition that has a great affinity to water giving it a nature derived ability to retain oil delivering  excellent gloss and protection.

Pure # 1 (Number One Grade) Carnauba varies in color or shade from a very pale yellow to an almost white, and some are even a yellowish (brown). Though the quality of  a pure #1 Carnauba does not differ greatly when comparing colors, scientist have found that Grade A carnauba is the purest. Because Chemical Guys uses carnauba for a large majority of products, only Grade A Brazilian carnauba is used to assure top quality product is used behind the scenes to deliver premium professional results in the final product. Paint experts agree that Brazilian Carnauba is the wax of choice for the best automotive finishes. 

Let’s reduce the confusion about how carnauba affects surfaces:

Carnauba is  a natural plant derived or produced by-product, it has no cleaning ability, hence used by itself and not in conjunction with other chemicals it will not clean, attack, damage or cause any reaction  with a painted surface. Carnauba merely coats and  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. Many products like Extreme Top-Coat Sealant are also enriched with extra added UV Blocking agents that protect far longer then a wax and break down under much higher heat conditions.

So what is wax?

Defined wax is: the actual substance, as in carnauba wax, beeswax or paraffin, is an organic material which is solid at room temperature, melts at a fairly low point and is not a polymer.

Waxes range of properties:

• Hardness
• Surface Shine and Reflective ability
• Melting point for Carnauba (about 160 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit)
• Water repellence
• Protection-Resistance to breakdown

The finishing coat of wax on a painted surface serves two basic purposes: 

1)  Protection -- Waxes serve as barrier offering protection against: water spots, acid rain, contaminates and most importantly the damaging effects of the sun. Wax coats the paint and protects it so that the elements of contamination attack the wax and not the paint surface. Wax prevents acid rain, vehicle exhaust and commercial industrial fallout from corroding the paint's surface.  Wax achieves these duties by improving mar and offering a slip resistance that prevents dirt and dust from abrading the paint surface.  Most oxidation occurs then oxygen accompanied by water, acid rain or humidity penetrate through micro tiny wholes in your paints surface and allow oxidation to occur.  Many new and newly painted cars have some micro tiny wholes in the paint, and often times when you use a clay bar, it lifts and pulls oxidation out of the paint and leaves a micro tiny whole where the oxidation was before. These wholes need to be filled and wax offers a great surface sealant for these wholes.  For added surface protection it is recommended that a coat of sealant is applied over the wax or even before the wax.  Though some sealants like magic seal are wax based, others like Extreme Top-Coat Sealant are reactive silicone based sealants that are enriched with carnauba to offer superior protection coupled with the shine of carnauba wax.

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

HARD CORE PASTE WAX:

SOME HISTORY ABOUT PASTE WAX.

Much of what detailers and professionals have grown to admire about a multidimensional deep shine or car wax. Is owed to the addition of Brazilian #1 to many and most car wax products. Still today over 50 yrs after the introduction of Carnauba into the car detailing industry, pure carnauba wax is still the professionals choice product for rendering the deepest paint shine available.  Though synthetic waxes and paint sealants have become prevalent in the car care industry over the last several years, very few compare with the easy layered amazing shine and strength of durability  of a  pure carnauba paste wax.

EXTREME DEPTH LIQUID CARNAUBA CREME WAX + X-Seal. Is our fastest and deepest one-step wax formulated with X-Seal. Extreme Depth Liquid Carnauba Crème Wax is an amino functional carnauba, allowing for maximum bonding with other products and with paint surfaces making it user friendly even  when used with other products as well as making it easily layer-able( for professionals looking to achieve a superior shine though several layers). Extreme Depth Liquid carnauba is emulsified with   X-Seal surface sealants formulated to extend the life and durability of the carnauba wax. Offering extended shine and a superior durability in one.  X-Seal allows for longer durability in the sun  and under extreme conditions while also extending shine and surface protection.

WHEN THE WAXING IS DONE WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT LAST AND OUTSHINE ANYTHING?
