Wax is the primary material to prevent the oxidation of the paint of an automobile. The protective layer formed by the car wax is only enough to save the paint from oxidation and it cannot form complete protection from all damage, such as bird droppings and scratches from heavy objects. Car wax also gives your vehicle a natural shine and saves it from harsh environment.
Car wax forms a thin transparent layer over the cars exterior paint thus forming a primary protection against any harm caused to the automobile. This layer helps in covering minor scratches and stone chips by making them less visible. The car wax also seals the paint so there is not contact of water with the paint which could lead to corrosion. Car wax has to be reapplied regularly and is not permanent. The life of a good quality car wax is 3 to 4 months thus there is a need for reapplication every 3 months.
IT is advisable that before waxing a car it should be buffered for any irregularities and to remove scratches, after which the wax should be applied, which is repeated every three months. The requirements to wax your car, is a good quality wax, a clean towel and a small sponge. Ensure that you car is clean and dry before you initiate the process of waxing your car. Be careful as to take a non abrasive car wax so as to not damage your car. Advisably you should go through directions provided on the package itself and test the wax on a small area first so as to check if it is right for your car.
If you choose a liquid polish, it should be shaken so as the liquid is mixed thoroughly and then it should be applied on a sponge which then is to be applied all over the car evenly. While waxing follow a top t bottom approach as it generally considered that the bottom panel of the car are the most dirty. it is preferable to make a thin and even layer all over the car and thick layers should be avoided as due to that the shine is lost. Waxing any other part other than the painted metal part is not a good idea as it will leave a white mark all over the rubber or glass parts.
After applying the wax evenly all over, wait for a couple of minutes before buffing it for a nice and shiny look. Car wax if used regularly is considered beneficial for the car as it reduced scratches and gives the car a nice shiny look.
