Default Back to natural wax. The fruits of todays labour.

Hi all,

I decided last week that I was going to go back to using natural wax. I had been using a synthetic wax/sealant combination and although it is very good, you don't get the warmth of shine that a natural wax gives you. You get a very clinical cold shine and I don't think it suits the colour of my car very well (white gold), it makes it look too silver.

I washed the car this morning, dried her off and then waited for the sun to go down a bit for the panels to cool down enough to apply some P21S concourse carnauba/bees wax. The car was protected with Carlack-68 last month and this is still the base layer. Its much easier and more effective to wax on top of this than straight onto the paint. The wheels got some P21S too. Makes it easier to remove brake dust.

Here are the results:














And no, I don't work for a well known supermarket chain. Was using their recycling centre and the car park is good for photos.
