Carnauba wax is awesome stuff.
For the tyres I use Armor All Tyre Foam. 5ish dollars a can from Big W. Does a great job.

I've been using wash and wax anyways, i did see a little bit of difference before and after but only when i sprayed it with the hose and it beaded instead of pooling. Then it rained so i couldn't take pictures. will i get a different effect if i use a buffer? Big W have one for $30 and it comes with 2 gloves. |

The only problem with carnauba wax is that it washes off again whenever you use a detergent such as car wash. Using plain water will not wash it off but then again plain water doesn't exactly do the best job when it comes to removing road grime.
Proper pure carnauba wax is flaky and has to be applied with a buffer so that it melts from the friction created by the buffer. Most of the carnauba waxes going round have other stuff mixed in so you can apply them by hand. Personally I wouldn't bother with it, it's too much work to wax your car after every wash. I like Nu-Finish. Remember Nu-Finish :P It's petroleum based and really does stay on after 52 washes!! |
