Does a Car Cover Need Waxing?
1 Answers
While a car cover can minimize the need for additional paint care, waxing is still recommended when possible. Although an invisible car cover reduces the necessity for extra paint maintenance, waxing enhances the cover's anti-stain properties, preventing dust and other contaminants from adhering to it, thereby improving both performance and appearance. Below are the functions of a car cover and precautions to take after installation: Functions of a Car Cover: An invisible car cover primarily protects against dust and acid rain while enhancing aesthetic appeal. Its inherent corrosion resistance is stronger than that of waxing. However, acid rain, insect remains, bird droppings, and accumulated dirt can gradually erode the invisible car cover, affecting the vehicle's surface shine. Therefore, even with a car cover, regular cleaning is essential. For frequent use, washing the car once a month is advised, while less frequent use requires cleaning at least every six months. Precautions After Installing a Car Cover: For the first three days after applying an invisible car cover, avoid waxing or permanent polishing. It is generally sufficient to wax the cover once every two months thereafter.
