How to Choose Car Wax?
2 Answers
Generally, dark-colored car paint should use black, red, or green series, while light-colored car paint should use silver, white, or pearl series. More expensive does not necessarily mean better. Choose the brand according to the instructions, and once determined, do not change the model.
As a practical car owner focused on daily maintenance, I prioritize wax type and ease of use when choosing car wax. Liquid wax is my top choice—just pour it out and apply with a soft cloth, unlike paste wax that requires more effort to rub in. Spray wax is even more convenient—a few sprays and a quick wipe for a weekly touch-up. In terms of ingredients, synthetic carnauba wax offers good protection and shine at a reasonable price (around tens to a hundred yuan), being more affordable and durable than pure natural wax. I also consider the car's environment: in dusty cities, I opt for dust-resistant wax; in coastal areas, I choose wax that resists salt corrosion. Before DIY waxing, I ensure the car is clean and avoid waxing after rain to prevent water from affecting the results. Storing wax in a cool, dark place prevents deterioration. On a budget, mid-range brands found in supermarkets are sufficient—no need for expensive options. Waxing monthly keeps the paint glossy and saves costs.
