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?While car wax probably wont improve the shine of the clear top coat, environmental factors such as rain, sunlight, and road debris will eat at the finish of a car. Adding a coat of wax after washing your car can help to protect the paint on your car.
There are different kinds of car waxes. There are liquid car waxes, paste car waxes, and the spray on, wipe off type of car wax. 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. Spray on, wipe off car wax is the newest kind of car wax. This kind of car wax can even be applied to a car that is still wet but the shine does not last very long.
What kind of car wax should you use on your car? It depends on the size and age of your car, how much work you are willing to do, and how much time you are willing to put into waxing your car. 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 dull finish, using a liquid car wax will clean as well as shine the paint on your car. To save time, using a spray on, wipe off car was is the way to go. Spray on, wipe off car wax can also be used for quick touch ups in between waxings.
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 related information Auto . Waterless car washing .
