Expert Notes

Carbanuba is Autobrite Direct's banana scented cream wet wax in a 500ml size, blending carnauba wax with montan wax and microcrystalline wax. It is aimed at enthusiasts who want a warm, mellow glow and a freshly waxed, wet-look finish on clean paintwork, with hydrophobic water behaviour afterwards. Application is simple: a small amount on a soft applicator pad, worked in small circles, left to cure, then buffed with a microfibre towel. A second coat once the first has fully cured adds depth and protection. We would apply it after a full wash and decontamination, or after polishing, and maintain it with a pH neutral shampoo so the wax layer is not stripped between washes.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Clean painted body panels
  • Bonnets, roofs and boot lids
  • Doors and wings
  • Painted bumpers
  • Freshly polished paintwork
  • Cars and vans

Caution: Apply only to clean, cool paintwork and keep the wax off textured plastic trim and rubber seals, where dried wax can leave a white residue.

How To Use

Application

  1. Wash and dry the car first so the paint is completely clean.
  2. Work in the shade on cool panels.
  3. Apply a small amount of wax to a soft foam applicator pad.
  4. Work it into the paint in small circles for even coverage, one panel at a time.
  5. Leave the wax until it has cured.
  6. Buff off with a clean, soft microfibre buffing towel.

Aftercare

  1. For a deeper gloss and more protection, let the first coat cure fully before applying a second.
  2. Maintain the finish with a pH neutral maintenance shampoo.
  3. Switch to a fresh, clean towel for the final buff if any residue remains.
  4. Close the container tightly and store it away from heat and frost.

Top Tip: Thin, even layers buff off far more easily than heavy ones and make the wax go further.

Performance Benefits

  • Warm, mellow glow on paint
  • Freshly waxed wet-look gloss
  • Offers a high level of protection
  • Easy to apply by hand

Glass Care, Wash and Paint Correction

Crystal Glass Cleaner has been part of the Autobrite Direct range since 2005 and, according to the brand, was one of the first products it developed. Its high flash-off formula is designed to be sprayed, wiped and buffed, and the brand describes it as safe for all glass, mirrors and window tints. For heavier contamination, Clear View Glass Polish removes bug splatter, grease, fallout and stubborn stains from glass, and contains no silicones or waxes.

On the wash side, Autobrite Direct describes Citrus Wash as a powerful yet gentle pre-wash and all-purpose cleaner infused with citrus oil, diluted to suit anything from light cleaning to degreasing. BriteGel is a sticky, non-acidic wheel cleaning gel that clings to the wheel and tyre with less run-off, and Ceramic Shield Magiseal is a water-based, SiO2 infused coating that can be applied through a foam lance or with a trigger sprayer.

For paint correction, the Correct It range pairs compounds and polishes with dedicated pads. The brand describes Enrich as a medium machine polishing compound that removes car wash scratches, swirl marks and light oxidation, and as a one-step cut and finish compound for most paint finishes.
