Carnauba Wax question

[Pinballrocks]

Can anyone give me some information regarding Carnauba wax.

I want to wax a playfield which is showing slight wear.
i have been down to the local auto shop & have noticed several different forms of Carnauba wax.
which is the best one to buy & is there any additives that i should be looking out for, that can cause harm to the playfield?

Hi there,

I went through the same process and bought a product called "Gillys Stephensons Carnauba Polish" and it works a treat on Diamond Plate & mylared machines.

Its from Bunnings and costs about $12.00/have included a picture. Just wipe on with a rag and polish off straight away and looks amazing.

I've used Meguiar's Yellow carnauba paste wax for years. I'm going to try the treasurecove wax on the next restore !

Pure Carnauba wax is the best stuff to use. Look for the one that's 100% yellow carnauba and make sure you shop around as price varies. For a good quality one you should be looking to pay around $30-40 and it should last you ages so is quite good value.

 I was looking at a product called hi tech yellow wax with carnauba in a tin.
 Amongst other things, it has petroleum in it. At $38 a tin im thinking it must be good.

 My playfield is partly mylared, but the top half is not mylared
 Do you think this will be ok?

Hi Guys, I am reading this thread with interest.

I have some fine cracks in one of my playfields and when I use the Turtle Wax ( not sure of the name) it leaves like a hazy deposit in the cracks. Kinda destroys the shiny effect if you know what I mean.

Is there any waxes that do not leave that milky residue? Is the Mothers wax Ok for that application or is there another product?
Is treasure Cove kit OK for residue? Lots of questions...sorry!
Thanks.

I've used Meguiars Yellow carnuba paste wax for almost 10 years. On EMs to DMDs and if you follow the instructions, it always has excellent results. You must use a polishing rag to finish off. I am about to trial the Treasurecove Wax, which will be the first time I've not used Meguiars.

I think the residue might be because you are not polishing the wax off with "terry toweling" - you can use an old bathroom towel, or buy a polishing rag from supercheap auto etc..

Is there any chance you can list the ingredients & quantities that are contained in the wax that you use? 
I would like to compare them to the wax i have just bought. Cheers
