What makes Pete's '53 awesome
Unique Blend of Oils and Liquid Polymers
Pete’s ’53 blends raw ingredients like almond, coconut, banana, and the propolis oil found in beeswax in a premium emulsion combined with 53% Brazilian white carnauba by volume. And while Pete’s ’53 offers a brilliant high gloss shine to any paintwork color, the unique blend of oils and liquid crystal polymers is specifically formulated to enhance dark and metallic paintwork.
Easy On/Off Protection With a Deep, Wet Shine
The blend of natural carnauba in Pete’s ‘53 creates a hydrophobic layer that protects your vehicle from water spots, road grime, and contamination stains that can ruin the paintwork's shine. This innovative formula enables Pete’s ‘53 to be applied with a simple wipe-on, wipe-off technique with zero drying time required.
