A hybrid spray wax combining modified carnauba wax with silica dioxide, specifically formulated for recreational vehicles and outdoor equipment protection.

Key Chemistry

pH Level

5.6

Active Mechanism

wax film formation

Surfactants

3 (nonionic, cationic)

Expert Analysis

This product employs a dual-protection approach, using modified carnauba wax as the primary film-former enhanced with silica dioxide for added durability and hydrophobic properties. The mildly acidic pH of 5.6 and nonionic/cationic surfactant system creates a stable emulsion that's gentle on diverse surfaces while providing effective wetting and spreadability across paint, fiberglass, gelcoat, and synthetic materials.

Key Differentiators

  • Hybrid wax-ceramic formulation combining traditional carnauba protection with modern SiO2 enhancement
  • Multi-substrate compatibility designed for the diverse materials found on recreational vehicles and marine applications

Potential Concerns

  • Hybrid formulations may not provide the depth of protection offered by dedicated ceramic coatings or pure carnauba waxes
  • The convenience-focused formula may require more frequent reapplication compared to traditional paste waxes
