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.

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?

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.

The Brand

Alchemy

Alchemy Car Care was developed from what the company describes as years of grassroots detailing experience. Rather than building the range around a catalogue of existing products, Alchemy says its formulas were repeatedly developed, tested, adjusted and tested again before release. Testing was carried out across different vehicles, paint types and paint colours, with the aim of producing products that worked in the way the people behind the brand wanted to use them themselves.

That practical approach is still reflected in the range. Products are generally straightforward in purpose, with clear applications rather than unnecessary overlap between multiple versions of the same chemical.

A Range That Covers the Detailing Process

A Range That Covers the Detailing Process

Alchemy has built a broad car care range covering pre-washing, contact washing, chemical decontamination, paint preparation, polishing, protection, interior cleaning, wheels and tyres. Grime provides the citrus pre-wash stage, Whitewash covers snow foam, Dirty Harry handles contact washing, while Chemical X and Diss-olve tackle iron contamination and tar. Further through the process, One Hit provides single-stage paint correction, with products such as Shell Suit, Duck Tail and Suga Coat covering different methods of adding protection and finishing the vehicle.

The range extends beyond liquids into clay, applicators, microfibres, brushes, buckets and other detailing accessories, allowing Alchemy products to be used through much of a complete exterior and interior detailing process.

Practical Chemistry With Useful Dilution

Practical Chemistry With Useful Dilution

A notable part of Alchemy's cleaning range is its use of concentrated products rather than relying solely on ready-to-use formulas. Grime Citrus Pre-Wash, for example, can be adjusted from around 10:1 for heavier contamination through to 100:1 for lighter cleaning, while also having applications beyond exterior pre-washing. Whitewash Snow Foam and Dirty Harry Shampoo are also sold as concentrated products, allowing the user to alter product strength or quantity according to the level of contamination and the job being carried out.

Alchemy is based in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, and its range is also distributed to the detailing trade through Linntec. This places it firmly within the UK detailing market, with products covering enthusiast maintenance as well as the larger sizes and concentrated chemicals useful to regular and professional users.
