The dual action polisher makes apply a coat of carnauba wax dramatically faster than old school hand application and the machine does a better job of laying down a thin, uniform layer of wax that will dry faster and wipe off easier as compared to hand applying a traditional paste wax. Having a carnauba wax in liquid form makes it incredibly easy to machine apply the wax because you can simply pour some wax onto the face of a foam buffing pad. The dual action polisher is safe because it won’t put swirls into the paint or burn through the edges or raised body lines when buffing. Today there are literally hundreds of safe, easy to use dual action polishers that car owners have switched over to for detailing their own cars. This coincides with the increased growth in the dual action polisher industry. The majority of carnauba waxes on the market today come in liquid form. (I’ll share that below).Ĭarnauba paste waxes can be applied by machine, but it does require you to somehow scoop some wax out of the can and then spread it like butter onto the face of a foam buffing pad. There are still traditional carnauba paste waxes historically referred to as a hard wax on the market and interestingly enough, these are actually just as easy to apply as a pre-softened paste wax IF you know the old school technique for getting the wax out of the can.

Some paste waxes are pre-softened to make getting the wax out of the can and spread over the paint faster and easier. Carnauba waxes come in both paste and liquid formulations with the primary difference simply being the form in which a person prefers.Ī traditional carnauba paste wax come in a tin can although now days you will also find them in their cheaper counterpart, plastic jars.

A carnauba wax is a product formulated to add a layer of protection to an automotive finish while adding gloss and shine at the same time.
