Formula 1 Carnauba Car Wax Paste - High-Gloss Shine - Polish for Car Detailing to Shine & Protect – Remove Haze and Paint Swirls w/ Micropolishing Agents – Car Cleaning Supplies (12 oz)

Nice consistency of the Carnauba paste. Goes on easily and dries fast. Bought this Carnauba wax for the making smooth the back of the neck of one of my guitars. The guitar in question had very tacky lacquer applied to the back of the neck. Applied one application of the Formula 1 brand of carnauba wax to the back of the guitar’s neck. Waited for the wax to dry to a powder, then buffed with a paper towel. The result was excellent: a smooth and slippery neck perfect for my fast rock guitar playing style. Most DIY guitar videos said to sand down the back of the neck to remove the tacky lacquer. But one professional guitarist’s video recommended the use of carnauba (car) wax to make the neck slick. We took the advice from the pro guitar player and purchased this Formula 1 carnauba car wax from Amazon. The pro guitarist didn’t recommend or endorse a particular brand of carnauba wax but said to avoid brands that have ingredients like sand or dirt or abrasives in the paste that can scratch wood. This Formula 1 carnauba wax worked very well on my guitar’s wooden neck for my purposes, but how it works on painted autos and boat finishes is for another person to review.

I have tried/used every wax single product stores like Auto Zone and the big box stores sell and I keep coming back to Kit Wax, or as it is now known, Formula 1. Concerned that my favorite automotive wax had been chemically reconfigured I telephoned the manufacturer and was reassured by a company administrator that the only difference was the new name. Well, not quite - they did make that nice, easy to use, application sponge a lot smaller so that today it is about 1/3 the size it used to be. The new sponge is more difficult to use, does not hold up as well and feels cheap immediately causing me to think they had similarly altered the wax composition too. However, as far as the actual wax is concerned I have not found any difference in ease of application, polishing after it is dry which can take up to 30 minutes depending on temperature and humidity, the durability of the wax film, cleaning properties and even the scent between Kit Wax and Formula 1. For all intents and purposes as far as I can tell by actual use and from testimony via a corporate administrator, the Formula 1 product is identical to the former Kit Wax product, except for the much smaller application sponge included with the wax when you purchase the can, not the bottled product which does not include the application sponge. For our use in NW Ohio, I have found the wax to last about 3-4 weeks on our daily drivers that are garaged each night. But, this is predicated on how you wash the car too. Detergents might reduce or totally eliminate the wax film. So, I always wash the car using cold water only. This does appear to extend the life of the wax film and also helps to preserve the shininess of the clear coat. Because the car is frequently waxed, only after it has been cleaned, there really is no build up of dirt/grime etc. I wash the car once per week and because of the wax film, all accumulated grime is easily removed. Interestingly I have found that this product can make a Plexiglass windshield look like it's new, eliminating those accumulated blemishes form normal wear. On Plexiglass the Formula 1 wax makes them sparkle like new and does not distort or alter the clarity of the windshield in any way. I demonstrated this on a friend's aircraft windshield and he was astonished how much sharper and clearer the windshield clarity was after the wax was hand buffed using a terry cloth towel, the same way I buff it on the car. I know almost everyone has their was product preference and how it is applied, etc. No argument there. This posting is just my opinion based on my personal use. Nothing more. And, I don't work for the company or have any association with it in any way. I am associated with a local university engineering college.

The wax is good, does the job. However, Amazon packed it in a bubble envelop so the plastic top broke and and the metal cap of the wax came off and spilled wax into the envelope creating a mess which I got on my hands and shirt. When I complained, which took multiple chat sessions, I was told I can order something to replace it free of charge and get a credit for the broken order, but I had to return to Amazon Fresh in person. They only gave me a partial refund and denied saying I can get a replacement for free, so that wasn't ethical and I ended up with extra wax. Make sure it comes in a box and not an envelope, the top is plastic and the cap is metal which can open causing the wax to spill into the envelope and then your hand and shirt.

When you're a car detailer with a curious streak and a soft spot for nostalgia, trying new waxes is like dating in your golden years—hopeful, messy, and occasionally glorious. I’m a paste wax purist. Liquid wax? Meh. It’s like comparing a handwritten love letter to a text message. Sure, they both say “I care,” but only one makes you feel it. There’s something sacred about smearing wax across a “clean” surface while whispering sweet nothings to your paint job. Now, let’s talk chemistry. Waxes and polishes? Frenemies at best. Unless you prep the surface like it’s going to prom—alcohol-based spray, quick dry, squeaky clean. Otherwise, you’re left with a shmeary mess (yes, I coined that—greasy, hazy, and emotionally unavailable). Enter Formula 1. Not the race, the wax. It’s not your dad’s crusty Blue Coral fossil. This one’s gooey, borderline runny, like pudding with ambition. Smells like something you’d dab behind your ears before a date. Possible aftershave? Maybe. Tempting? Definitely. Application is a breeze—just don’t tilt the can unless you want a wax waterfall down your jeans. It spreads like butter on warm toast, no elbow grease required. I skipped the haze phase because patience is overrated. The result? Shine so bright it made my neighbor squint. Durability? TBD. I didn’t wait six months to write this because life’s short and wax is fleeting. But for the price, it’s a steal. Bargain hunters, rejoice.

This is a great prouduct. Easy to apply and wipe out excess. I would buy it again.

Fantastic car wax. Easy on and off. Brilliant shine. Highly recommend. 👍

Good product. Works fine. Thanks!

Used it to polish 8 yr old car

Cire vraiment brillante, en plus facile à enlever elle ne laisse aucune trace . Bon ça n enleve pas les rayures ou un peu mais sur ma porsche une fois appliqué le rendu est vraiment nickel je recommande fortement d ailleurs j'en ai pris un autre !!!😊😊

Llevo muchos años usando esta cera y la verdad es la mejor que he probado.

Formula 1 ist kein Hartwax, sondern eine Paste. Und weil die Poliermasse eine Paste ist, ist das Auftragen & Verteilen ein Kinderspiel. Ich habe die aufgetragene Paste nach ungefähr 30 Minuten mit einem Frotteetuch poliert und war mit dem Ergebnis sehr zu frieden. Über den Langzeitschutz von bis zu 12 Monaten kann ich natürlich im Moment keine Aussage treffen.
