Auto detailing with Carnauba Wax

It began with some research on how to best care for the carbon fiber stone guards. Someone on a forum recommended using old-school carnauba wax.

I picked up a liquid spray version, which came with a microfiber cloth as part of the kit.

At first, only the carbon fiber stone guards were treated, but I applied it to the entire car about two weeks later.

With the car squeaky clean and dry, the product is applied with a cloth, left to dry, and then finally buffed with the provided microfiber cloth.

The finish is great—the car looks super shiny and is somewhat water-repellent. Folding the long-nose shower cap on the hood highlights just how slippery the surface has become. Resting the elbow on the treated carbon fiber sill protectors also gives a funny slippery sensation.

Dirt comes off the stone guards and rear wheel arches more easily. I would 100% buy it again or try the wax in solid form.
