Why Choose Tenax Cera Fluida

Deepens Color and Adds Sheen The one care product meant to change the look. Strongest on dark stone that has gone flat and gray.

Easy to Apply and Reverse Thin coats, buff to a sheen, and it wears off in time rather than committing the surface permanently.

Level With Hydrex, Under Proseal ₱3,500, the same as Hydrex and ₱1,100 below Proseal, though it needs redoing far more often.

Made for Natural Stone At its best on granite, marble and travertine, where it lifts the color and warms a tired-looking surface.

What Is Tenax Cera Fluida?

A liquid wax that deepens color. Not a sealer, and not a substitute for one.

Tenax Cera Fluida is a liquid wax for natural stone, made by Tenax in Italy. It enriches the color of a slab and leaves a soft sheen, which is what people are usually after when they say a counter looks flat.

It works the opposite way to a sealer. Proseal and Hydrex soak into the pores and leave nothing on top. Cera Fluida sits on the surface as a thin film, and that film is the whole point of it.

Because it sits on top, it wears off. Traffic, cleaning and use will take it back over months rather than years, so treat it as a finish you refresh rather than protection you install.

It is at its best on dark stone that has lost some depth, and on honed or aged surfaces where the color has gone chalky. On a freshly polished slab it has less to add.

Which Stones Can Take Cera Fluida?

Natural stone only. Never engineered quartz.

Dark granite gains the most

Deep colors are where wax earns its keep. Absolute Black, Tan Brown and Paradiso Dark all read richer with a wax on them, because it lifts the depth that dry stone loses.

Marble and travertine, on the right surfaces

It suits wall cladding and feature surfaces in marble or travertine. Seal first with the appropriate product, let that cure, then wax over the top if you want the extra depth.

Never on engineered quartz

This is the firm rule. Wax builds up on a quartz surface, cannot soak anywhere, and yellows over time. Every quartz we carry, from the Sapphire range to the Calacattas, needs no wax and is harmed by it.

Not on floors that get walked on

A waxed floor is slippery underfoot and wears through in traffic lanes, leaving a patchy finish. Keep it to vertical surfaces, counters and features rather than flooring.

How Do You Apply Tenax Cera Fluida?

Thin coats, and seal underneath first.

Seal First, If the Stone Needs It

Wax is not protection, so on a porous stone the sealer goes on first and is allowed to cure. Waxing over unsealed stone gives you shine with nothing underneath it.

Apply a Thin, Even Coat

Spread sparingly with a soft cloth. Wax is easy to overapply, and a heavy coat dries streaky and takes far longer to buff than two light passes would have done.

Buff to a Sheen

Let it haze, then buff with a clean dry cloth until the surface is even and the finish is consistent. Stop while the cloth still moves freely rather than working one patch harder than the rest.

Cera Fluida is one of the stone care products we stock at every branch, alongside the sealers that go underneath it.

Does Cera Fluida Change How the Stone Looks?

Yes. That is the entire point of it.

Yes. This is the one stone care product we sell that is meant to alter the appearance. It deepens color and adds a soft sheen, and if you did not want that you should be reaching for a sealer instead.

The effect is strongest on dark and porous stone, and subtle on a bright polished slab that already reflects well. On a black granite that has gone slightly gray and flat, the difference is obvious.

Test an offcut or an out-of-sight corner first. Waxed and unwaxed stone sit side by side very visibly, so you want to know you like it before doing a whole surface.

It is reversible in the sense that it wears off, but it does not come off evenly if you change your mind halfway. Do the whole surface or none of it.

Does Waxing Replace Sealing?

No. And treating it as protection is the common mistake.

No. A wax film is thin, sits on the surface and wears away with ordinary use. It will not keep cooking oil out of a porous granite, and it will not stop a red wine spill reaching the stone.

Sealing and waxing solve different problems. Proseal lines the pores from inside and stays there. Cera Fluida sits on top and looks good. One protects, the other flatters.

They are not alternatives, and on a stone that needs sealing you want both, in that order. Seal, cure, then wax if you want the depth.

Wax does not prevent etching either. Acid will cut straight through a wax film and dull the marble or travertine underneath, exactly as it would on bare stone.

Cera Fluida vs Our Other Stone Care Products

Four products, four different jobs.

Cera Fluida is the finish

₱3,500, for deepening color and adding sheen on natural stone. Cosmetic rather than protective, and it wears off in months rather than years.

Proseal is countertop protection

Tenax Proseal at ₱4,600 repels oil and water from inside the pores. This is the one a kitchen counter actually needs, and it goes on before any wax.

Hydrex is protection for walls and floors

Tenax Hydrex at ₱3,500 repels water, for cladding, flooring and outdoor stone where damp rather than oil is the threat.

Granite polish is the other way to add shine

Stone Care Granite & Stone Polish at ₱1,700 brightens a polished surface as part of routine cleaning. Lighter and cheaper than waxing, and better suited to regular upkeep than to reviving tired stone.

How Often Should You Reapply?

When the depth fades, which is months rather than years.

Judge It by Eye

There is no test for wax the way there is for sealer. When the color looks flat again and the sheen has gone patchy, it is time. On a working counter that is commonly every few months.

Clean Thoroughly First

Waxing over a dirty surface traps whatever is on it under the new coat. Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner and let it dry completely before reapplying.

Do Not Let It Build Up

Coat over coat without cleaning leaves a thick, uneven, yellowing film. If the surface has gone cloudy from repeated waxing, the branch can advise on stripping it back to bare stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cera Fluida a sealer?

No. It is a wax that sits on the surface to deepen color and add sheen. Sealers soak into the pores and stay there. If you want protection rather than appearance, you want Proseal or Hydrex instead.

Can I use it on engineered quartz?

No, and this is the firm rule. Quartz is stain-resistant, so wax has nowhere to go, builds up on the surface and yellows over time. Quartz needs nothing beyond a pH-balanced cleaner.

Do I need to seal before waxing?

On any stone that needs sealing, yes. Seal first, let it cure, then wax if you want the extra depth. Waxing over unsealed stone gives you shine with nothing protecting the stone underneath.

Will it stop my marble from etching?

No. Acid cuts straight through a wax film and dulls the stone underneath. Nothing you apply prevents etching on marble, travertine or onyx. Keeping citrus and vinegar off the surface is the only protection.

How long does it last?

Months rather than years, and less on a surface in daily use. It wears with cleaning and traffic, which is normal for a wax rather than a sign of a bad product.

Can I use it on a stone floor?

We would not. Waxed stone is slippery underfoot and wears through in traffic lanes, leaving a patchy finish that has to be stripped and redone. Keep it to counters, cladding and feature surfaces.

What happens if I put on too much?

It dries streaky and cloudy, and repeated heavy coats build into a yellowing film. Thin coats buffed properly are the answer. If a surface has already gone cloudy, ask the branch about stripping it back.
