Expert Notes

Angelwax Luminosity is a hand-poured detailing wax made for matte paint, satin paint, frozen finishes and matte wraps. Ordinary waxes add shine and uneven reflection to these surfaces, so Luminosity is formulated to protect without adding gloss, keeping the original lustreless look while helping defend against UV exposure, road grime, moisture, oxidation, bird lime and airborne pollutants. It is the protection step for owners of matte-finished cars after a careful wash, applied as a thin layer and buffed gently, with extra coats if required. Pair it with a matte-specific shampoo, a matte quick detailer and soft microfibre towels, and keep polishes, gloss enhancers and brush car washes away. The 150ml size is made by Angelwax in Scotland.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Matte factory paint
  • Satin paintwork
  • Frozen paint finishes
  • Matte vinyl wraps
  • Satin wraps
  • Matte-finished cars and vans

Caution: Never polish, machine or scrub a matte finish: pressure and abrasives can create shiny patches that cannot be reversed. Buff Luminosity off gently.

How To Use

Application

  1. Wash the vehicle with a shampoo made for matte finishes and dry it thoroughly.
  2. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from contamination.
  3. Apply a thin, even layer with a foam or microfibre applicator.
  4. Allow the wax to haze.
  5. Buff gently with a clean microfibre towel, without pressing hard.
  6. Apply additional coats if you want extra protection.

Aftercare

  1. Wash with products made for matte finishes and avoid gloss enhancers.
  2. Blot or lightly glide a plush microfibre towel to dry, rather than rubbing hard.
  3. Remove bird droppings and insect residue promptly, before they mark the surface.
  4. Avoid brush car washes and hot wax programmes.
  5. Reapply when water no longer runs off the surface as it did.
  6. Store the pot closed in a cool, well ventilated place.

Top Tip: Use a light touch when buffing, as matte paint and wraps show pressure marks more easily than gloss paint.

Angelwax waxes, polishes and protection

Waxes. Formulation #1 is a hand-poured carnauba wax of natural waxes and oils that needs only a thin coat, rated by Angelwax at up to six months. Dark Angel is made for black and dark paint: it enriches dark tones, helps hide light swirls and wash marks, and carries a chocolate scent. The Fifth Element is a high endurance show wax of four natural waxes and passion fruit oil, and Luminosity Matte Wax protects matte, satin and wrapped finishes without adding gloss, kept clean between washes with Luminosity QED.

Polishing. Resurrection is the heavy cut compound, rated to remove sanding marks up to 1,500 grade, Regenerate is the medium cut swirl remover, and Redemption is the ultra fine finishing polish that takes out holograms and P3000 sanding marks. By hand, Perfect Polish is a pre-wax cleanser with ultra fine abrasives, and Stripped-Ease removes old wax, sealant and polishing oils before fresh protection.

Glass and quick protection. H2GO is a glass rain repellent that Angelwax says makes rain bead off from as low as 20mph, applied after cleaning with Vision, a fast flashing glass cleaner that is safe on tinted windows. QED is the quick detailer for gloss between washes, and Alchemy is a metal polish for exhaust tips, chrome, aluminium and stainless steel.

Angelwax wash, wheels and interior care

Wash and decontamination. Cleanliness is a water based, solvent free citrus pre-wash made in Angelwax's UK laboratory, safe on waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings. FastFoam is a thick snow foam for the lance, and Superior Automotive Shampoo is a concentrated, pH neutral shampoo that leaves protection in place. Blue Rinse is a wax infused rinse aid for the clean, wet car, diluted up to 5:1, that makes water sheet off for faster drying. Revenge softens insect remains, Nemesis dissolves tar, glue and sap, and the Cleanse clay bar lifts bonded fallout, used with Uber-Lube.

Wheels. Bilberry is a non-acidic wheel cleaner, ready to use or as a concentrate, safe on painted, lacquered and powder coated wheels. Bilberry Wheel Wax then adds a barrier that slows brake dust build-up, and the same fruity scent comes as the Bilberry air freshener.

Interior and soft tops. AnGel is a water based, silicone free dressing with UV protection that leaves interior plastics matte and non greasy. Absolution cleans seats, carpets and mats, and Heaven for Leather is a pH neutral leather cleaner that keeps the factory matte finish. For convertibles, Excelsior cleans canvas, mohair, cloth and vinyl roofs, and Shield leaves an invisible barrier that repels water and stains on roofs and fabrics. Clarity is a super concentrated screenwash that can be used neat as a de-icer.

Kit. The Brush-Up set of five bristle brushes reaches badges, vents and wheel nuts, and the padded Detailing Bag has a rigid base for carrying waxes and bottles.
