I recently brought a chunk of pure carnauba to mix with pure beeswax, pure gum turpentine, and pure tung oil (an old smithing recipe for a durable dark finish for bare cast iron/ wrought iron/ mild steel). I first melted the waxes on an electric double boiler (outside) and then added the oil and solvents.
*Note to viewers:* First 17.5 minutes of video describes all the different ingredients involved -- waxes, solvents, oils, other additives, etc. (Which, by the way, absolutely *IS* useful and interesting info, as well!) The first wax paste recipe ingredients are listed starting at around 17:35 -- fun times! :-)
22:06 😂😂😂 I knew it as soon as you went into the house that warning was coming!! 😂 Quality!! 👌🏾 John, you’re videos are proper on point as well as entertaining! 👍🏾👍🏾
Lanoline/Vaseline + Beeswax + optional for better consistency - Oil(coconut or herbal tree) sometimes i add a little bit kerosene/naphtha that is my choice. heat it up(not open fire) mix it and it is ready. By the way can be also used as undercoat as it is great rust prevention.
Great first try mate, been thinking of having a little bash at making a wax myself and this is making me want to take the plunge more so. Also enjoying all you're vids so far, very informative and as said the review vids are a massive help so keep up the good work! 👍
Subscribed. I will be going through all your videos to learn the tricks of the trade haha. I am a detailer, fairly new to it might I mad. And I have now reached a point where I want to experiment and make my own car care products. Keep up the great work.
interesting video, my hesitation would be the solvents used and how exposure to them will effect the paint under the wax. I know they use solvents in mainstream wax production but exactly which ones and at what concentration is surely a bit of a trade secret. Im looking forward to part 2! when the Mrs is out of the house again of course!
Jon!!! Today I melted some PREMIUM Carnuba that arrived hard as nails in an empty BH Double Speed tin. I have a question if you've time 1.Ceramic 50ml scented WaxAddicts freebie ( soft and lovely apply ) 2. CarChem premium Carnuba, applied easily 3. BH Double Speed, fabby wax been using everthing after a cut All these wax's apply so similar, wipe off, buffs, beads same/similar????? Which is better than any other. Even thinking buying the 156g TurtleWax ceramic now as £14 similar Double Speed. I'm happy on D.Speed. They all apply and wipe off bead similar. I am thinking making up one must be better than another????? Cheers
Hi mate, I'm across the pond in the US. Due to trademark issues R222 is branded P21S in the US. I also discovered the graininess in the wax which I thought would scratch my car's clear coat when applying. I returned it for another jar and it wasn't grainy at all, just smooth. The manufacturer said it may be due to the batch ( quality control ). Are you a professional or enthusiast detailer? It would be great if you could do a short or long video introduction of your detailing background. Your videos, music, presentations and great sense of humor are spot on. Just don't burn down your lovely home! Keep up the great work. Your best product reviews are saving the detailing community time and frustration. Peace out.
+Remy Hors d'âge thanks for the great advice remy... working on like a intro video from the channel home page to cover some of this stuff... great to hear you like the vids mate, thats the best compliment I could get.. you never know how they will go down when you put them out there...
The grainy texture is to do with the carnauba content. Usually the higher the percentage of nuba then the grainier the texture. As for the solvents and flash points, if you are mixing them with the oils before heating, work out the lowest flash point and the percentage of that in the whole mix along with the highest flash point and you will probably find if something you are using flashes at 5 degrees and you are using 10 % and then you have something that flashes at 90 and using 40 % then it would be safe to go to 72 degrees without a problem. You get wax heaters on ebay for the likes of wax for woman for beauty therapy that work well and you can put the wax solvents and oils all in there. Very impressive first go mate and you will learn a lot in your next few batches. Looking forward to seeing the next installment.
+Peter Gibson I think the misses would love one of these wax heaters for beuty therapy stuff... its her b day soon... pure genious. kill 2 birds with one stone! :)
Wonder if coconut wax oil (the stuff you can even eat if you wanted) would also be worth adding into a home brew wax? Maybe as an experiment. If i get the chance i will give it ago myself just don't have a clue of how much to add with the other waxes lol
Hi! Thank you very intesresting. Few questions:1 1) Regarding the solvents, don't you think they can damage the clear coat? Because most of them (or several of them) can be agressive on paints 2) I have Autoglym dried wax, I would like to re-use it. What solvent should I use? and in what proportion? Thank you!
I saw this video a long time ago when just starting detailing and not knowing what your talked about. It's great to see it again with the knoledge I have now and must say, for a first go it's not half bad, nice beading and sheating going on there!! Why don't you make an Annual Channels Blend, and put some content on the channel making it? Maybe collaborate with John Johnstone from Mitchel and King? Really like this chemestry stuff!!
I watch it and I really I had no clue what I was doing at this point.. but yer I filmed it and put it out there. quite cool to do a wierd video like this and its slowly crawled upto 50,000 views over time. I think a lot of people who have got into wax making over the last 4 years have watched it which is something to be proud of. defo need to make some more waxes for sure.
+Paul Dolden Details hey paul. ill settle for something thats half decent :) today I cooked up #002... And its cool but I think I need to take a big u turn about where im going with the wax.. Almost like parking #002 and going down a different route with another line. The waxes work but I think they are a bit wax heavy and possilbly solvent light, although they honk a bit... want to try really different blends now with much higher amounts of the carrier oils.. lanolin is the one I am keen to try. I think the coconut oil might be a bit too slick... its kind of good fun this.. but have no real clue what im doing :)
Hallo dear Sir my name is nasir and i watch your all car making Wax body polish video but I don't understand I living in Pakistan my English is not good plz plz plz share with me how to making car wax body polish . please Sir give me reply
I use linseed oil a bit since I am a oil painter, just be careful what you put that stuff on because it is a spontaneous combustor so if you use it on paper or towels it could catch fire!
we have about 17 videos of wax making my friend, there is no other source of information on the internet that will give you more info on getting started to make waxes, including full recipes.. The downside is you gonna watch it.. get you best tea mug out and put your feet up.. one thing though.. no amount of research beats actually doing this and learning... be prepared to spend 1000's of pounds if you want to do it properly. can get up and running for less than say 100-200... search ebay for odourless keresene if your after that.. its a good solvent.. but hold fire on watching it because theres some good alternatives ready to go.. one big fast forward tip.. "car chem" get your waxes and solvent from them.. (or joe from autoglanz actually now he sells homebrew stuff individually as well)
in real time now yes all the time.. but back when I was making this I just knew I needed to raise it a bit to not overcool the wax when I mix togther... but yer have a hotplate stirrer now with temp probes etc.
I have tried yes.. its one reason to use the low aromatic solvents.. but generally I dont add dye or scents at this stage im still trying to get the performance characterisitcs I want (failing though)
what can i say guys... some words I struggle with :) this one I have it locked in wrong or something ... So what am I saying? Im saying Carn-ooo-bra and it should be carn-ooo-baaa ?
I want to do this business in pakistan i am very poor i have small children i will pray for you all my life please tell me how to do it you will be very kin

I JUST FOUND GOLD VIDEO! This will help me in my thesis

lanoline and beeswax will make it too sticky.
@@ForensicDetailing It all depends what proportions You use. Lanoline is sticky but beeswax hardens it. You also don't use oils then.
what proportions do you use?
Can you please write me the ingridients since it was hard for me to understand ot on the video?

Hi mate I know this is a old video but could you send me a shopping list of all the products used to make the wax mate.
Wonder if coconut wax oil (the stuff you can even eat if you wanted) would also be worth adding into a home brew wax? Maybe as an experiment. If i get the chance i will give it ago myself just don't have a clue of how much to add with the other waxes lol

depends on solvent choice and some other variable my friend. on point 2 just bin it if its dried now mate.

defo need to make some more waxes for sure.
Can i use thinner as solvent?
some waxes have xyxlene and toulene in them in small amounts but you cant use them now in commercial waxes in the UK. so dont use thinner.
Great video buddy. Where did you buy the scent and color?
Great you have inspired me to try to make my own wax -)))))
great job, however I would opt for Collinite 845 just easier.....
Thanks!!! I'm going to start this right away 😀❤👍
did you start?

How to make a carnauba spray? And what ingredients? Thanks
Thanks
Thanks for the video il look at making some myself
cheers leon
No worries!
love this. you should blend the waxes for a few hours
Hi ya, cheers mate. Can I ask, what do you mean by blend them for a few hours? Do you mean leave them for a few hours after the pours?
@@ForensicDetailing Emulsification process
Love this video man
I appreciate this approach but I lost my kitchen access after the little woman caught me using the dishwasher to clean my black powder revolvers.

Please give me formular.i can speak english little.
What should be?
Have you thought about linseed oil? It's used in wood rain repellants.
+5jjt no i didnt come accross this one mate.. I do have boiled linseed oil already.. is that the stuff?
I use linseed oil a bit since I am a oil painter, just be careful what you put that stuff on because it is a spontaneous combustor so if you use it on paper or towels it could catch fire!
Hey jhon maybe you can try mix with PVK
What do you think of petes 53 compared to r222
similar.. r222 smoother to apply.. perhaps a bit more wet gloss... petes 53 lasts long and is lovely to use.. both epic waxes...
Im getting a free sample of waxtub 141 rasberry their a new company
how can we possibly liquefy the Carnauba wax for liquid spray?
you need to use an emulsifier. I cant tell you which one to use though.
Where did you get the kerosine from and could you guve some tips I'm going to make my own wax
we have about 17 videos of wax making my friend, there is no other source of information on the internet that will give you more info on getting started to make waxes, including full recipes..

one big fast forward tip.. "car chem" get your waxes and solvent from them.. (or joe from autoglanz actually now he sells homebrew stuff individually as well)
Wat is a lina lion pless anser me
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanolin
Have you tried heating the solvent with a hot plate
in real time now yes all the time.. but back when I was making this I just knew I needed to raise it a bit to not overcool the wax when I mix togther... but yer have a hotplate stirrer now with temp probes etc.
Where do u get the fragrances for this ?
Fjas.
Can I use pure beeswax only?
No too sticky
Have you tried adding some form of smell into the wax (bubblegum,cherry)
I have tried yes.. its one reason to use the low aromatic solvents.. but generally I dont add dye or scents at this stage im still trying to get the performance characterisitcs I want (failing though)
