Waxing your car is fast becoming a ritual of the past. Today there are a number of new products on the market designed to eliminate the use of wax. Some work better than others and they have various short falls. Some are not waterproof others turn dull after they become wet, most only last a few days while some more agressive treatments boast as much as a 5 year life span. Some are polish or wax based, while others use plastic as in PTFE treatments.
These processes are designed to put a shine on the surface of the paint. They are not designed to preserve the paints natural or original finish.
Wax does not make the paint shine, it is the wax itself that is shining and in time it will build up yellow dull and require removing.
Clear coats and PTFE treatments work the same way, they rest on the surface of the paint.
Polish offers a quick shine but no longevity or benefit to the paint.
Of course detailers will swear by wax and clear coats, thats how they make their money.
The very nature of wax makes it a troublesome and wastefull product to use. 90% or more ends up on the towel in the form of wax dust, and it shows no love for black vehicles.
It takes hours using wax to get a black or dark colored car looking good.
Thats why old school detailers recommend wax. It's not a job most of us have time, tools or necessary skill to do.
Wax companies recognize this and have developed synthetic wax among other things.
Car manufactorers have also understood the desire for a long lasting shine and have improved their paint formulas to make them harder and more reflective.
These new harder highly reflective acrylic paints do not do well with traditional wax. The wax will actually cover and replace the factory finish / shine, with a aftermarket shine that can have swirls dull spots and uneven areas in it.
Paint needs protection from the elements, sun, salt and oxidation.
That is the idea behind wax But what wax and the others fail to do is to PRESERVE the paint.
So far we have focused on the surface because caveman technology does not see beyond that.
Today science has revealed to us a world the caveman did not know existed. It is the world of molecular science.
Any engineer knows a structure is only as strong as the foundation that supports it.
With that in mind, A new approach to automotive detailing was taken by KMOD ALR (Kemetian Motif Original Designs Alien liquid research division). The decision was made to develope an Acrylic Paint Conditioner.A conditioner that would give elasticity, strength and shine to the paint by replacing electrons lost from natural exposure to the elements.
The company already established itself as an acrylic lens restorer. "Pittman's Original One Step ALR", A liquid deoxidizer works at the molecular level to remove oxidation from the surface of Acrylic / polycarbonate / plastic on contact.
Based on the same science, VaporWax was created
The science behind VaporWax
Oxidation effects everything from flesh to iron. It is the thing that gives us life and makes us grow old. It effects all things in different ways. The common denominator is how it effects us, at the cell and molecular level.
Oxygen produces the occurrence of free radicals. These could be described as break away cells or free electrons. They change form and assist in the break down of surrounding cells. They can accumulate and cause cataracts in eyes rust in iron and oxidation on acrylic. Sunlight a source of vitamin D helps accelerate the process of oxidation.
Oxidation is not pure, It can hold the elements of many substances such as salt and salt water. As it builds it can hold oil and road grime and other
pollutants. On Vehicle headlights and other acrylic / plastic surfaces oxidation can be yellow or brown.
For this reason oxidation can appear in various colors. It most commonly appears as a thin white film on automotive paint, this film can become opaque if
allowed to continue to build.
Molecules that compose the oil and color of the paint, loose electrons to this oxidation. The result is dry harden weather faded paint.
VaporWax is designed to absorb oxidation, replace lost electrons in the paint, Form a micro thin protective coating that will inhibit the return of oxidation and serve as a cleaning agent when the car is washed in clear water. The thinking behind the creation of VaporWax is to make the paint healthy by feeding it back the elements that it naturally looses. In the process of making the paint healthy, VaporWax produces a deep long lasting
radiant shine in a waterproof formula. KMOD designed a formula that eliminates the archaic chore of after buffing, VaporWax reacts on contact and produces instant results.
The application of VaporWax is notable in how it is applied.
It is a pure liquid formula that is applied in a vaporized mist via an atomizer.
The formula is highly concentrated and the condition effect can last for months.
VaporWax is recommended for preservation of new car factory finish and restoration of older vehicles as a once.
VaporWax is a month paint conditioning treatment. Designed with built in cleaning agents No soap is needed between applications of VaporWax. Wash your vehicle with clear water and a soft brush, Dry with a soft towel and the shine is back.
VaporWax produces a radiant waterproof shine within the paint.
