3 Systems.
Real test.
Real results.
Beading test, window cleaner attack, and key scratch test — all three systems tested simultaneously on the same surface.
All three repel water well to very well and withstand the window cleaner. After rinsing: beading effect unchanged for all three, full effectiveness. The difference becomes apparent with the key: Signature Wax leaves several light scratches, Shield 3 Pro almost holds up with 1–2 spots, CeramiX Ultra 5 shows no visible scratches.
The three systems
Three different approaches to paint protection — each with a clear profile. Here is what each system actually is:
Test 1 — Beading behavior
The first result is clear: all three systems repel water well to very well. Clear drop formation, distinct beading. No system fails here. The carnauba wax shows strong beading, as do the two ceramic systems.
Test 2 — Window cleaner attack
Window cleaner contains alcohols and surfactants — we spray it directly onto all three areas and let it sit.
During exposure
CeramiX Ultra 5 and Shield 3 Pro clearly repel the window cleaner. The Signature Wax also repels it — with slightly less resistance, but it holds up.
After rinsing
The beading effect has not diminished in any of the three systems. Full effectiveness for all three. The window cleaner did not permanently damage any of the systems.
Test 3 — Scratch test
Four stages: soft brush, hard brush, hard plastic brush, key. All systems pass the first three stages without visible damage. Only the key reveals the difference.
The carnauba wax is not a ceramic coating — it is not designed for mechanical protection against a key. It delivers exactly what it was developed for: shine, beading, and up to 6 months of protection. The two ceramic systems show their advantage here due to their cross-linked protective structure.
