Does Scratch Wax Affect Car Paint?
1 Answers
Scratch wax does affect car paint. It can clean the paint and form a protective film on the outer layer of the car, providing continuous protection. However, waxing should not be done too frequently, especially polishing. The number of polishing treatments a car undergoes in its lifetime should not exceed five, and waxing should also be moderated. For new cars in particular, waxing is unnecessary because the original paint layer already has a protective wax. Waxing too early may remove this original wax, leading to unnecessary waste. Precautions for using scratch wax: 1. Small scratches and dirt spots often appear on car paint, which require professional scratch wax and scratch cleaners; 2. The interval between waxing should vary depending on the driving environment and parking location of the vehicle; 3. For vehicles parked outdoors and exposed to wind and rain, it is recommended to wax once a month; 4. Avoid using dish soap or soapy water indiscriminately, as the sodium chloride content can erode the paint layer, wax film, and rubber parts, causing the paint to lose its luster and the rubber parts to age.
