Full Description

Alchemy Ceramic Wax is an incredibly durable paste wax that offers outstanding levels of gloss.

Using advanced hybrid technology Ceramic Wax is easy to apply, protects for up to 12 months and is extremely hydrophobic.

Many people get the urge to apply a wax on top of a ceramic coating. Unfortunately, applying a traditional wax can detract from the behaviour of the coating. Applying a ceramic wax on top of the coating is the solution.

As well as working perfectly as a topper over a ceramic coating, this ceramic wax can also be used as a standalone wax that provides protection and high gloss shine

Expert Notes

Alchemy Ceramic Wax is a 200ml paste wax built on hybrid technology. Alchemy rates it for up to 12 months of protection with an extremely hydrophobic, high gloss finish. It is designed to go on top of a ceramic coating, where a traditional wax can detract from the way the coating behaves, and it also works as standalone protection on uncoated paint. Apply a thin coat with a lightly dampened foam applicator on a cool panel, let it cure and buff with a clean microfibre towel. We see it as a good fit for coated cars that need a topper and for uncoated paint that needs a durable paste wax. Pair it with a pH neutral shampoo, a decontamination step before first application and plush microfibre buffing towels.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Vehicle paintwork
  • Ceramic coated paintwork
  • Uncoated paintwork
  • Painted bumpers and mirror caps
  • Freshly washed and dried panels
  • Topper layer over ceramic coatings

Caution: Apply only to a cool, clean panel and keep the wax off unpainted textured plastics and rubber trim, where residue can be hard to remove.

How To Use

Application

  1. Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly and work on a cool panel out of direct sunlight.
  2. Lightly dampen a foam applicator pad.
  3. Pick up a small amount of Ceramic Wax and apply a thin coat using light pressure.
  4. Work one panel or section at a time, keeping the coat thin and even.
  5. Allow the wax to cure before removal.
  6. Buff to a glossy shine with a clean microfibre towel.

Aftercare

  1. Maintain the finish with a pH neutral shampoo and a gentle contact wash.
  2. Avoid strong degreasers and traffic film removers on the waxed paint.
  3. Top up the wax when you notice the water beading weakening.
  4. Wash the applicator and buffing towels after use.
  5. Close the container tightly and store it away from heat and frost.

Top Tip: Thin coats buff off far more easily than thick ones and make the 200ml go further.

Performance Benefits

  • Protects paintwork as a standalone wax
  • Works as a topper over coatings
  • Easy to apply by hand

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Alchemy Ceramic Wax last?

Alchemy states Ceramic Wax protects for up to 12 months. The maker also says it lasts up to twice as long as traditional carnauba wax.

Can I use it on top of a ceramic coating?

Yes, Alchemy designed Ceramic Wax to be applied on top of a ceramic coating, because a traditional wax can detract from the behaviour of the coating.

Can I use it without a coating?

Yes, Alchemy Ceramic Wax can also be used as a standalone wax that provides protection and a high gloss shine.

How do I apply it?

Apply a thin coat with a lightly dampened foam applicator using light pressure on a cool surface. Allow it to cure, then buff to a glossy shine with a microfibre towel.

Is it hydrophobic?

Yes, Alchemy describes Ceramic Wax as extremely hydrophobic.

What size is it?

Alchemy Ceramic Wax is supplied as a 200ml paste wax.

What should I do before applying it?

Wash and dry the paint thoroughly first, and decontaminate or polish if the surface needs it. Wax sits on top of the paint, so defects and contamination underneath stay visible.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Apply to a cool panel, never in direct sunlight.
  2. Dampen the foam applicator lightly before loading any wax.
  3. Thin, even coats are easier to buff and use less wax.
  4. Let the wax cure fully before you buff.
  5. Buff with a clean, dry microfibre towel.
  6. Keep wax off textured black plastic and rubber seals.
  7. Use it over a ceramic coating instead of a traditional wax.

Alchemy wash, decontamination and protection

Wash. Grime Citrus Pre-Wash dilutes 10:1 (water to Grime) for heavy dirt, 50:1 for medium and 100:1 for light, and can be sprayed or used through a foam lance; Alchemy says it is safe on wax and sealant. Whitewash Snow Foam is pH-neutral, at 5:1 water to foam for heavy cleaning. Dirty Harry is a pH-neutral, wax-friendly shampoo: one capful per litre of water, used on a cool panel out of direct sun. Dry with the Alchemy Dry towel, 90 x 75cm in a twisted loop pile, or wash with the microfibre wash pad.

Wheels and decontamination. Supreme Wheel Cleaner is acid-free: neat for heavy dirt or diluted 1:5 to 1:10 for light, left for one minute, then rinsed. Chemical X is a ready-to-use, pH-neutral gel that turns red as it reacts with iron fallout; apply to cool wheels and rinse within five minutes. Qube Soft Clay (100g) lifts overspray and tar for regular use, with Qube Lube as its pH-balanced lubricant.

Gloss and protection. Dark Matter and Light Matter are glazes matched to dark and light paint, hiding light blemishes by hand or machine. Supanova is a soft wax and oil blend for show gloss, Ceramic Wax is a hybrid paste wax that Alchemy rates at up to 12 months, and Duck Tail is a ceramic wet-coat spray, rated at up to four months. Suga Coat is a hydrophobic quick detailer for between washes.

Shop by type: citrus pre-wash, snow foam, wheel cleaners, glazes and car waxes.

Alchemy interior care, odour bombs and brushes

Alchemy interior care, odour bombs and brushes

Interior and glass. So Clean is an anti-static interior cleaner for plastics that leaves a matte finish and a fresh smell and helps stop new dust settling. Cosmos Glass Cleaner is a fast-evaporating blend of distilled solvents for grease, fingerprints and vape residue, and Alchemy says it is safe on acrylic, Plexiglas and tinted windows. For tyres, Soul Glo 2000 is a silicone oil gel: a few drops per tyre bring back the deep black.

Re-Fresh odour bombs. Each 150ml Re-Fresh can treats bacteria and odours through the whole cabin and the air conditioning, not just masking them: run the blower on high in recirculation, empty the can and leave the car unoccupied during the treatment. Scents: Watermelon, Bubblegum, Cherry Bomb, Linen, New Car and So Cool.

Brushes. The GLO Brush Set pairs a large 24cm and a small 16cm brush with super-soft, metal-free bristles for badges, screens, dashboards, vents and gauges; the handles glow in the dark after charging in daylight (also in green). The MultiBrush Pro has two weighted handles and five twist-on heads, and the boar's hair set gives five sizes for vents, door shuts, badges and wheels.

Shop by type: interior cleaners, odour and smoke eliminators and brush sets.
