Expert Notes

The Fifth Element is Angelwax's high endurance show wax, blended from four natural waxes, passion fruit oil and a fifth ingredient the maker keeps secret. It is made for owners who want a show-level finish that also stands up to regular use: Angelwax designed it for deep gloss, warmth and clarity together with water beading, sheeting and protection against fallout, UV exposure, road grime and moisture. It suits all gloss paint finishes and should go on paint that has been washed, decontaminated and polished. Apply thin coats with a foam or microfibre applicator, let it cure to a light haze, buff gently and add a second coat after curing. The 30ml size is a sensible way to try it before the full pot.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Gloss paintwork
  • Show car preparation
  • Regularly driven cars
  • Freshly corrected paint
  • Car bodywork
  • Van bodywork

Caution: For gloss paint only: keep it off matte or satin paint, wraps, textured plastic trim and rubber seals, and apply it to cool, clean panels.

How To Use

Application

  1. Make sure the paintwork is clean, dry and free from contamination.
  2. Work on cool panels in the shade, one panel at a time.
  3. Apply a thin, even layer with a foam or microfibre applicator.
  4. Allow the wax to cure to a light haze.
  5. Buff gently with a clean microfibre towel.
  6. For enhanced durability and finish, apply an additional coat after curing.

Aftercare

  1. Maintain the finish with a gentle car shampoo and the two-bucket method.
  2. Dry with a plush microfibre drying towel.
  3. Remove light dust between washes with a quick detailer and soft microfibre.
  4. Avoid strong degreasers and traffic film removers on waxed panels.
  5. Store the pot closed in a cool, well ventilated place.
  6. Wash applicators and towels after each use.

Top Tip: Work one panel at a time in the shade so each coat cures evenly before you buff it.

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.
