Ep15 - Optimal Car Wax: Paraffin and Carnauba Blend Study

AI detailing podcast details an experimental study conducted by CeraLab Ltd as part of a training programme focusing on developing a high-performance carnauba-based car wax. The objective was to understand how varying the ratio of hard wax (carnauba) and soft wax (paraffin) within a standard 70% solvent (odourless kerosene) to 30% wax mixture influences the final product's characteristics. Four different wax blends were created and evaluated based on criteria such as hardness, ease of application, dry time, and buffing/removal. The results indicated that a 1:1 ratio of paraffin to carnauba (Batch B) provided the most balanced performance across all tested metrics, leading to its selection as the base for future investigations into the role of different solvents.
