Expert Analysis

This water-based formula combines carnauba wax for gloss enhancement with fluoro-polymer technology to create a dual-action approach. The carnauba provides immediate shine and depth, while the fluoro-polymers form a hydrophobic barrier that repels contaminants and maintains surface slickness between washes.

Key Differentiators

  • Hybrid formulation combining traditional carnauba wax with modern fluoro-polymer technology
  • Available as concentrate format offering significant cost savings and reduced packaging waste
  • Full ingredient transparency with complete formula disclosure

Potential Concerns

  • Carnauba wax content may require more frequent reapplication compared to synthetic polymer-only formulations
  • Concentrate format requires proper dilution ratios for optimal performance
