Washing your car and waxing it are usually two separate jobs — Formula 1 Carnauba Wash & Wax turns them into one. This 236ml bottle gives you a thick, rich foam that lifts dirt, bugs, tar, and road grime out of every panel gap and crevice, while a genuine #1 grade Brazilian carnauba wax works into the surface at the same time. The result: a wash that leaves your paint clean and glossy, with strong water-beading protection that holds up even after rain.
Unlike household detergents that can strip wax and dull your clear coat over time, this formula is built specifically for automotive paint. It rinses away completely, without streaking or leaving water spots behind, and it won't harm or fade your factory finish. Whether it's a hatchback, sedan, SUV, or motorcycle, Formula 1 Carnauba Wash & Wax works across all vehicle types and paint finishes, making it an easy addition to a weekly car care routine.
This is the same wash-and-wax formula trusted by car owners and detailers worldwide, now available on Dolphin Accessories with genuine sourcing, fast shipping, and secure checkout.

How to Use
-
Park in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight or a hot bonnet/roof, as this can cause the product to dry too fast and leave marks.
-
Rinse the car first. Hose down the vehicle to remove loose dust and grit before you start.
-
Mix the solution. Add about 1 ounce (roughly 2 full bottle caps) of Formula 1 Carnauba Wash & Wax to 4 litres of water in a bucket and mix until it foams up.
-
Wash with a soft mitt or cloth. Work in sections, using straight, gentle strokes rather than circles, to avoid swirl marks.
-
Rinse thoroughly. Wash off the foam with clean water panel by panel before it dries on the surface.
-
Dry and buff. Use a clean microfiber towel to dry the car and bring up the carnauba shine.
Tip: for the best gloss and water-beading, do a final rinse with plain water and dry immediately rather than letting the car air-dry.
Quantity Guide
-
Per wash: roughly 1 ounce (about 30ml) of product diluted in 4 litres of water is enough for a full hatchback/sedan wash.
-
Per bottle (236ml): at that dilution, one bottle gives you approximately 7–8 full car washes, depending on vehicle size and how strong you like the foam.
-
For SUVs or larger vehicles, you may use slightly more concentrate per wash, which will bring the total down to around 5–6 washes per bottle.
- Store the bottle tightly capped, away from direct sunlight, for a longer shelf life between uses.
Why Choose Formula 1 Carnauba Wash & Wax
Most wash products either clean or protect — rarely both at once. Formula 1 Carnauba Wash & Wax is built to do both in a single pass, using real Brazilian carnauba wax rather than cheaper synthetic fillers, so every wash leaves behind an actual protective layer instead of just a temporary shine. It's gentle enough to use every week without stripping existing wax or ceramic coatings, yet strong enough to cut through bugs, tar, and grime that plain soap struggles with. For anyone who wants their car looking freshly waxed without setting aside a separate afternoon for it, this is the simplest way to get there.

FAQs
1. Is Formula 1 Carnauba Wash & Wax safe for all paint types and colours?
Yes. It's formulated to be safe across all standard automotive paint finishes and colours, and it won't strip or dull the clear coat the way harsh household detergents can.
2. How much product do I need per wash?
About 1 ounce (roughly 30ml, or two bottle caps) mixed into 4 litres of water is enough for a full wash on a hatchback or sedan. Larger vehicles may need slightly more.
3. How many washes will one 236ml bottle last?
On average, one bottle gives you around 7–8 full washes for a standard car, depending on vehicle size and foam preference.
4. Can I use this on a car that already has a ceramic coating or wax layer?
Yes, it's gentle enough for regular use and won't strip an existing wax or ceramic layer. It simply adds a light carnauba top-up with every wash.
5. What's included in the box?
You get one 236ml bottle of Formula 1 Carnauba Wash & Wax. No applicator pad or mitt is included, so use your own soft wash mitt or microfiber cloth.
6. How often should I use it, and how long does the shine last?
It's mild enough for weekly washing. The gloss and water-beading from each wash typically lasts until your next wash, and builds up further with repeated use over time.
