How to Use Tire Wax?

Shake the tire wax thoroughly before use. If the tires are exceptionally dirty, rinse them with water first. Use a soft brush to clean the wheel surface and gaps. It can be used on both dry and wet tires. However, it is not advisable to apply wax under high temperatures. Waxing should be done in a cool place to ensure the car body does not overheat, as wax adhesion performance may deteriorate under high temperatures. Spray the wax evenly in a circular motion from about 15cm away from the tire; then spread it evenly with a brush. Wait for it to dry (5-10 minutes). The waxing process is now complete.
I usually apply tire wax after washing my car, and the method is quite simple: First, use car shampoo to thoroughly scrub the tires clean, ensuring there's no mud or dust, otherwise the wax won't adhere properly. Wait until the tires are completely dry, then take a sponge, dip it in tire wax, and evenly apply it to the sidewalls of the tires. Be careful not to get wax on the rims or brake discs—dried wax on rims can leave unsightly white marks, and getting it on brake discs can pose safety hazards. After applying, don't rush; let the wax sit for 10 minutes to penetrate, then gently wipe off any excess with a dry cloth. This treatment leaves the tires deep black and shiny, like new, while also protecting against UV rays and slowing aging. Doing this once a month is enough. Never skip washing and apply wax directly to dirty tires, as the mix of dust and wax can actually damage them.
