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.

Easy on, let it haze. Wipe off to a brilliant deep shine. Paint is soft and slick if you feel it with the back of your hand. Smells excellent.

I use Petes 53 on my vehicle which is 16 yrs old but repainted in 2017. Not the best paint job but this wax makes it look factory fresh! I have a tri coat pearl with metallic. Love the shine and quality of it. Definitely recommended.
