We Say
R222 Carnauba Wax sits firmly in the “classic done properly” category. This is a traditional carnauba-based wax designed for people who value gloss depth, paint warmth and a smooth, refined finish rather than chasing extreme durability or synthetic behaviour.
What makes R222 stand out is how balanced it feels in use. It spreads easily, buffs cleanly and leaves behind a finish that looks rich without being overly sharp or artificial. On darker colours in particular, it adds that subtle depth and glow that carnauba enthusiasts look for.
It’s also worth noting how forgiving the product is. Application doesn’t need to be rushed, there’s no grabby residue, and the finish levels nicely even if you’re not working in perfect conditions. That makes it just as appealing to experienced detailers as it is to enthusiasts who enjoy waxing as part of the process.
In our opinion, R222 earns its place because it delivers exactly what a high-quality carnauba wax should: beautiful gloss, a smooth feel and an enjoyable application. It’s not trying to be everything — it just does the traditional wax job very well, and that’s why we’re happy to stock it.

How To Use
1) Prepare the surface: Ensure paintwork is thoroughly washed and decontaminated. For best results, apply to clean, smooth paint free from oxidation or residue.
2) Apply sparingly: Using a soft foam applicator, apply a thin, even layer to cool paintwork. Avoid over-application — a little goes a long way.
3) Allow to haze: Allow the wax to haze lightly. Working panel by panel is recommended.
4) Buff off: Buff residue using a clean, soft microfibre towel, turning frequently for a streak-free finish.
5) Maintain: Regular gentle washing will help maintain gloss. Reapply as required to refresh protection and appearance.
