Most new cars in the past few years come with a transparent protective top coat layer of paint called the clear coat. Does that mean you do not need car wax anymore?Environmental factors such as sunlight, road debris, and rain will eat away at the finish of your car so car wax can still be used to improve the shine on your car. After washing your car, adding a coat of car wax can help protect the paint on your car against environmental factors.
Car waxes are not all the same. These include liquid, paste, and the spray on, wipe off types. Liquid car wax is the hardest to apply to your car and it takes a lot of work to buff after applying liquid car wax. Paste car wax used to be the most common type of car wax used but is now the least commonly used car wax. Paste car wax is easy to spread on a car because it comes with a reusable applicator that helps keep the car wax off glass. The newest kind of car wax is the spray on, wipe off car wax. This kind of car wax can be applied to a car that is still wet from washing but the shine does not last very long.
How do you know what kind of car wax to use? You need to consider things like the size and age of your car, how much work you want to put into waxing your car, and how much time you want to take doing it. If your car is only one or two years old, the finish should still be good and you will only need a light spray wax to make it shine. For an older car with a worn finish, you should use liquid car wax because it will clean as well as shine your car. If you want to save time, a spray on, wipe off car wax is your best bet. Quick touch ups in between waxings can also be done with a spray on, wipe off car wax.
You should clean your car thoroughly before applying car wax. Do not use car wax on your car when it is in the sun or if the paint is hot because it will cause the wax to scratch the paint.If your car is hot or in the sun, do not apply car wax until it has cooled because the car wax will scratch the hot paint on your car. You should was small portions of the car and buff immediately so the car wax does not have a chance to dry out. More info Auto -- Best car wax -- Ultimate car wash --
