Only when: splash risk · prolonged use
Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
SDS section 8 names eye/face protection directly: use goggles, and have an eye wash station available. Section 2 carries no eye-hazard H-code (GHS classification: None) and section 11 guinea pig Draize testing came back negative for eye irritation, so this reads as a splash/prolonged-contact precaution during paste application rather than a mixture-level eye hazard.

Only when: prolonged use
Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
No H317 or H315 in SDS section 2 (section 2 GHS classification: None). SDS section 8 precautionary statement P280 lists gloves as a generic precaution with no section 2 H-code basis. Petroleum-distillate carrier at 40-80% makes sustained hand contact during paste application routine; situational tier with prolonged_or_repeated trigger.

Only when: in enclosed space · prolonged use
Translated from the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
SDS section 8 directs use in a well-ventilated area; petroleum-distillate carrier may off-gas noticeably during application and haze time.

Scope of these PPE tiers. The tiers on this page translate the product's Safety Data Sheet where one is published, plus its ingredient chemistry, into a comparable rating. They describe a formulation, not a situation: a tier is not a safety determination for any specific user, task, quantity, or environment. The manufacturer's label and use instructions govern how the product is handled. Where the product is used at work, the employer's PPE program and hazard assessment under 29 CFR 1910.132 decide what protection is selected, not this page.

This product ranks #3 of 11 in Paste Wax.

TL;DR Brand-claimed #1-grade carnauba confirmed present but trade-secret concentration. Paste-format category median durability (3-5 months on a daily driver) with provisional confidence. No health H-codes in SDS section 2; the petroleum-distillate carrier means ventilation applies during application.
A carnauba-and-polymer paste wax from Collinite. The formula delivers a warm, deep finish on dark paint; "#1-grade carnauba" is the claimed grade though concentration is a trade secret. Scoop onto a foam pad, spread a thin film, haze 5-15 minutes, buff off with a microfiber in 1-2 passes. Collinite notes it bonds without surgically clean paint, making it forgiving for a paste. Four-season durability is the label claim; the paste-carnauba category median is 3-5 months on a daily driver, though no independent long-term follow-ups specific to the 915 were found at editorial time.
Right for enthusiasts who want genuine carnauba warmth and a forgiving paste application, comfortable reapplying every few months. Skip it if longevity is the priority; a paint sealant or ceramic coating outlasts any carnauba wax by months to years. Skip it if you dislike solvent odor; the petroleum-distillate carrier off-gasses noticeably during the haze phase.
SDS section 2 GHS classification: None; no signal word, no health hazard statements, no GHS pictograms. The 40-80% petroleum-distillate carrier puts estimated VOC near 360 g/L; SDS section 8 cites adequate ventilation for workplaces, and the paste form factor limits airborne dispersion vs. spray products. Prop 65: none known per SDS section 15 and the product listing.
The SDS section 3 confirms carnauba wax is in the formula, but it sits in a proprietary non-hazardous fraction without a listed concentration. Collinite claims #1-grade pure Brazilian carnauba and a polymer-sealant component. The grade claim is specific, but the carnauba concentration is a trade secret. The product is genuinely carnauba-influenced, not a synthetic formula with carnauba in the name only.
Collinite markets it with four-season durability for everyday driving. The paste-carnauba category median is 3-5 months of community-confirmed beading on a daily driver washed weekly. No independent long-term follow-up threads (90+ days) specifically for the 915 were found at editorial time, so durability is scored at the paste-format category median (6.0) with provisional confidence.
For finish aesthetics, genuine carnauba wax produces a warmer, deeper look on dark paint than a synthetic sealant. That is the reason enthusiasts choose this category. For protection duration, a paint sealant or ceramic coating will outlast any carnauba wax by months to years. The 915 is a carnauba-warmth choice, not a longevity-maximizing choice.
SDS section 2 lists no skin sensitizer or irritant classification (section 2 GHS: None). SDS section 11 confirms no skin sensitization. The P280 precautionary statement is generic boilerplate with no section 2 H-code backing. Brief application sessions carry low skin-contact concern; prolonged or repeated contact with the petroleum-distillate carrier (40-80%) is where the situational skin tier applies.
