March 30, 2009Car wax is a car cosmetic that gives the car a glossy finish and protects the paint of the car. Car wax prevents the fading of the paint on the car when exposed to the sun and acts like a car sunscreen lotion. Small scratches will be found on the car because of the daily use of the vehicle and dust accumulates in these minute dents and a coat of wax prevents dust from getting embedded in the scratches. A good car wax regimen needs three steps.
A pre wax polish should be applied first to cure defects followed by a sealant to fill gaps and finally coat the car with wax for a shiny new appearance. You can buy car wax in the form of a rub on wax or a thick liquid and you can even spray it on with a sprayer. There are many types of car wax available.The chemicals used in synthetic wax give the car surface an unrivaled satin finish. To get the ultimate smooth effect for the painted surface of a car a blended car wax of both carnauba and synthetic wax is considered ideal. An application of car wax will give the best face lift to a used car.

Heat burns wax onto the finish, with ugly and hard to remove results.
If your car has detailing you do not want to wax, cover the parts with masking tape. Then with a damp sponge, apply the car wax to your car, going in small circles (if you have an older car) or long strokes along the lines of the car (if you have a newer car). Do not let extra wax get caught in the seams and joins of the exterior, and avoid waxing any dull plastic detailing. Then take a soft, lint free towel and buff off the excess wax, going along the car in the same sequence in which you applied the wax.
Today there are many car washes for every individual need of the car owner. If you are willing to pay top dollars for your car then there are car washes that may cost you more than the ten dollar usual price. Needless to say, these are the best ones around. For your Lamborghini or Ferrari, they are perfect. Yes that is right, they are most suited for exotic and luxury cars since they may cost you nine thousand dollars, more or less.
Blog is great.
An awesome post. I will come back to this site.
I got a ton out of this post. Love the blog.
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. Quick touch ups in between waxings can also be done with a spray on, wipe off car wax.
Before you use car wax on your car, you should clean it thoroughly. 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.
Groovy blog.
Spray on and rub on waxes are two sorts which are widely available. If you have arthritis or generally sensitive hands, spray on car wax may be right for you. However, since these kind of waxes are softer, you will have to apply more often for maximum effect. Car waxes which come in round tubs are harder to apply and remove, but you do not have to apple them as often and the paint protection is typically better.
Now that you know which car wax is best for you and your needs, it is time to start waxing! First, you will need to wash your car well, making sure that you dry it completely afterward.
Some experts say that you should really do them separately though.
Using car wax on your car will keep it looking good and protect your investment. Car wax will also make your car stay cleaner longer and make it really easy to wash it. If you car has a good coat of wax on it, the dirt and bugs will not stick to it as easily.
You can use car wax at home because it is so easy to use.
While waxing a car may require a little cash but make no mistake that it will not only help your car from getting rusty but also give it an exhibition style look. Polishing the car before sale may even increase its resale value.
Don’t ever start polishing before reading the instructions. These instructions are written to safeguard your precious investment and may contain an important clue that can prevent the vehicle from getting damaged. Polishing a car in a very cold or warm climate is a sure recipe for disaster.
Post more soon please.
More effective than traditional car sponges are the micro fiber towels which do not scratch the paint when used. They are slightly more expensive than sponges but are worth the money. The differential nozzles can be adjusted to give a spray jet or a jet spray effect to aid clean your car. Access to those areas that require hard cleaning is made easy by attaching flexible extenders to the nozzles, an accessory which is not too costly.
There are different types of car polishes ranging from wax, liquids, gels, and sprays.
Great info.
Your blog is awesome. I needed this info last month.
It is best to test an inconspicuous area of the car first whenever you use a new type of car polish, just to make sure it will not have any adverse reaction. I like to work from top to bottom on the car because there is usually more dirt at the bottom of the car that I do not want to rub around to the other sections of the car. I make the bottom of the car the final section because I do not want to scratch up my paint.
Once you are done applying your car polish, rub the car off with a soft cloth to make it nice and shiny. This process may seem like a real pain in the neck, but in the long run, it will save you a lot of money.
You should always begin waxing just after washing and drying your car.
After drying the car, apply the car polish one section at a time to the car. You might want to test it on a section of the car that isn’t visible a few days before just to be absolutely certain that nothing bad will happen, for example, your paint rubbing off. I like to start at the top of the car and work down because there is a better chance of dirt being left on the bottom of the car. If you make that your last section, you won’t rub dirt all over the entire car-it will be concentrated to that one area.
Keep the good posts coming.
