EDITORS NOTE: Recently, in a conversation with Chuck Bennett, CEO of Zymol, I learned that because of the unique demands on the body of an electric or hybrid vehicle, standard waxes evaporate in a short amount of time. EVs (Electric Vehicles) and hybrids bodies act as a ground for their batteries, forcing a negative charge across the body, which rapidly evaporates standard car wax. Not good for protecting your investment – so, working to solve the problem, Zymol worked with Tesla to create ION.

ION is a naturally sourced product that cleans, nourishes, and protects the finishes of EVs and hybrids and steadily clings to the surface.

Once again, Zymol is on the cutting edge of automotive surface care, with natural ingredients, solving a problem few even knew existed.

I’m fascinated and hope you will be too! Enjoy…

Exclusive New Series with Zymol

First, the Bottom Line

Tesla discovered that EVs were simply

evaporating waxes. It spelled a problem for Tesla because customers would be upset when their paint would fade prematurely. So, Tesla called on Zymol for a solution that yielded a truly scientifically engineered product that used the “problem”. The negatively-charged EV body was an advantage that dictated a positively-charged wax that would adhere to the finish, thanks to the natural law of positive-negative attraction.

ION is a wax that was developed specifically for EVs and hybrids. It took years of scientific research and experimentation with natural ingredients to create ION, as well as a specially engineered bottle that will not contaminate the product by exposing it to negatively charged metal when being applied.

The result is a wax that specifically protects EVs and hybrids. ION’s positively-charged nature is actually held onto the negatively-charged body through the natural negative positive attraction. The result is a stunningly slick surface and a kind of self-cleaning effect while protecting the finish.

ION isn’t without expense – but neither is your investment. Check it out here.

The Body of the Problem

The batteries that control mobility in an EV or hybrid are enormous, some weighing up to 1,500-pounds. They can send nearly 400 volts at 800 amps. For reference, two-tenths of an amp, or .2, is deadly. Thus, manufacturers separate the power used for mobility and the power used for accessories, both of which are isolated. This protects the occupants from shock in the event of a mobility power isolation leak – in other words, if power from the massive battery is not being entirely contained, the body of the car is engineered to absorb it without harming the occupants.

Part of this isolation happens as a result of forced negative charging, which enables the body a full grounding effect. Because of this negative energy constantly flowing across the body, it is impossible for waxes to cling for very long to the surface of an EV or hybrid.

The Solutions of Science and Engineering

The first obvious step was to create a positively-charged ionic-based formula which would stick to the negatively-charged surface of the EV or hybrid. Because, negatives and positives attract one another. The new product would also have to be derived from natural sources, because Zymol has their standards.

Finding a formulary solution was no easy task. Zymol experimented with several natural ingredients and blends.

They found the results of hydrogen bonding the nano carnauba prevented separation of the short and long chain fats, resulting in the formation of an easy-to-distribute bi-layered component through intense blending.

Lotus leaf extract was added to incorporate an active transport for wax suspension. ION’s superhydrophobic (repels water) and its exotic array of bonded atoms create the surface energy needed to keep the EV or hybrid surface clean after the positively charged carnauba bonds to it.

A wax specifically developed for the very unique needs of the EV and hybrid – ION. See it here.

The Bottle & Kit

It looks like a work of art, and in a way, it is. Designed by Flairosol, the ION bottle is a unique piston-driven spray mechanism which dispenses ION without exposing it to metal which may lesson the positive charge of ION. The result is the perfect bottle that can be refilled at any time and held in any position for spraying.
