Wax & Protect

Proper prep is vital for effective wax protection. We always begin with a thorough wash using a pH-balanced shampoo. Then we decontaminate surfaces using clay or iron fallout remover to remove surface impurities. If the paint is dull or has fine swirls, we may polish or glaze to correct and level the finish. Once dry and clean, paint is ready to receive wax. This process ensures maximum bonding of car paint wax protection and avoids sealing in contaminants, delivering better gloss, hydrophobic performance, and durability of your wax.

Yes — we encourage it! When you apply our car wax protection, such as Ceramic Spray Wax or Caramics Gloss Enhancer, over existing ceramic coatings or sealants, you restore hydrophobicity, enhance gloss, and prolong overall protection. The Auto Finesse Caramics Gloss Enhancer helps optical clarity and water beading, while the Spray Wax adds quick maintenance. We always advise ensuring the coating or sealant is well-cured before layering; once cured, our waxes are complementary and will beautifully freshen up the look without interfering with base chemistry.

We categorise our waxes based on formulation and characteristics. Hard waxes like Illusion and Fusion Hybrid are solvent-rich blends of carnauba and resins that cure into a durable layer with a radiant glow. These offer 4–6 months of endurance but require slightly more effort to buff off. Cream waxes, like Radiance Carnauba Crème, provide easier application and removal with a shorter lifespan—around 3 months. Both styles deliver rich, warm gloss and solid paint protection; choice depends on whether you prioritise longevity or speed of application.

Absolutely — our easy-to-use car waxes and sealants are formulated to be paint-safe across all common finishes: single-stage, metallic, pearlescent, matte, and clear-coat. When using on matte surfaces, we recommend lighter products like Glisten to maintain finish clarity without adding gloss. For matte, avoid polishing. In general, our vehicle paint wax protection line respects finish types while delivering cleaning, shine, and protection. For special finishes, it's always worth testing on a small panel first.

Yes — waxes provide a protective barrier against UV rays, which can degrade and fade paint over time. Our Signature Hard Waxes and creams infused with carnauba offer natural UV absorption. Sealants like our Graphene Filler Liquid Wax enhance this protection further with graphene’s UV-resistant properties. While not as long-lasting as ceramic coatings, our protection waxes still safeguard the paint, reducing oxidation and keeping colours vibrant. Regular use helps shield your vehicle from sun damage and prolongs the life of your finish.

Optimal application starts with quality tools. We recommend applicator pads like our Waxmate XL or Microfibre Applicator to apply cream and hard wax evenly without wasting product. Microfibre towels, especially our Primo Plush or Ultra Plush, are perfect for buffing—lint-free and soft on paint. These allow us to apply wax smoothly and remove residues effectively. For spray wax, use a clean microfibre towel to distribute the wax, then another to polish. These accessories ensure the best car paint wax protection and ease of use, helping both users and detailers get consistent results.

Absolutely — our Ceramic Spray Wax and Caramics Gloss Enhancer are safe and effective on glass, chrome, or polished metal. Auto Finesse’s easy-to-use car waxes impart hydrophobic properties to glass, enhancing visibility in rain, and bring out shine on chrome without streaks. Simply spray and buff. This versatile use across multiple surfaces simplifies maintenance, giving comprehensive protection in one step.

Carnauba wax is a premium natural wax derived from Brazilian palm leaves. We include high-grade carnauba in our Signature Hard Waxes because it adds depth, warmth, and glossy richness unmatched by synthetic options. The glossy “wet look” it provides is aesthetically desirable. Combined with synthetic resins in our hybrid blends like Fusion Hybrid, it offe

We recommend car paint wax protection like Graphene Filler Liquid Wax over vinyl wraps and paint protection film (PPF). Graphene’s flexible nature means it bonds well with both, providing robust up to 12-month protection and excellent hydrophobic properties without compromising the wrap or film flexibility. Just avoid abrasive polishes on soft wraps. Our waxes and sealants beautifully refresh gloss and protection for every surface, whether on paint, vinyl, or film—from daily drivers to fully wrapped vehicles.

Sealing and waxing offer different benefits. Sealants like Graphene Filler Liquid Wax emphasise longevity and scratch resistance; they provide a harder, polymer-based shield lasting up to 12 months. Waxes – especially natural carnauba – deliver warmer shine and gloss but require more frequent reapplication. For maximum gloss, we layer wax over sealant; for low-maintenance, just the sealant may suffice. Your choice depends on priorities: quick sheen or deep, enduring gloss.

Absolutely — hydrophobic behaviour is what car wax protection is renowned for. Our waxes, sealants, and ceramic-infused sprays create slick surfaces that force water into beads and reduce adhesion of road grime. This water-and-dirt repellency means faster and easier washes, as grime is less likely to stick. Whether you prefer a deep shine from Fusion Hybrid or a quick application with Ceramic Spray Wax, each delivers tangible benefits in keeping your car cleaner for longer.

Yes — layering improves durability and appearance. We often apply a base of Graphene Filler Liquid Wax or a ceramic coating, followed by a top layer of Ceramic Spray Wax or Glisten Spray Wax. The first layer gives robust, long-lasting protection; the top-up layer renews gloss and hydrophobic performance. This maintenance layering approach is easy and effective—just spray and wipe. Layering delivers multi-tier protection while enhancing gloss and extending the life of car paint wax protection.

We recommend Mint Rims Wheel Wax, designed for wheel environments. It uses high-temperature synthetic waxes and fast-flash solvents to resist brake dust, road salt, and grime. Its rust-repellent protection requires minimal maintenance—just light brushing and reapplication as needed. Applying it weekly or monthly after a wash keeps wheels glossy and easier to clean, offering the same hydrophobic and protective benefits of paint protection wax but in higher-heat conditions.

For hard or cream waxes, we advise 3–6 months between applications based on wear and wash cycles. Spray products like Ceramic Spray Wax may be used every 4–6 weeks or after each wash for optimal bounce and gloss. If there's visible water break or reduced beading, it’s time to spray top-up. Hard waxes should be removed fully before re-application. With layered use—e.g., top coat via spray and base coat via wax—we often apply spray more frequently to maintain gloss without removing underlying protection.
