Winter car waxing method is: 1. Rinse the car body with clean water; 2. Use soft materials to wipe the vehicle to remove impurities and then dry it; 3. Apply wax evenly in circular motions along straight lines from front to back of the car body using a waxing sponge; 4. Avoid applying too thick a layer of wax during application and refrain from using sharp objects to scrape. Car waxing should be comprehensively considered based on the characteristics of the wax, the age of the vehicle, the color of the paint, and driving environmental factors. Its functions include: 1. Preventing aging of the car paint surface; 2. Keeping the paint surface bright and new; 3. Resisting UV rays and acid rain attacks; 4. Effectively filling in small scratches on the paint surface; 5. Reducing friction static electricity between the car body and air to prevent dust accumulation.
Winter waxing is crucial as it protects the car paint from snow salt corrosion. I usually choose a warm day to do it in the garage; otherwise, the wax won't cure properly and the effect will be poor. First, thoroughly wash the car to remove dirt, including sand and mud from the wheel gaps. After drying, apply an anti-freeze synthetic wax, spreading it evenly in slow circular motions with a soft cloth, avoiding excessive pressure to prevent streaks. Wait 10-15 minutes for it to dry, then gently polish with another cloth to reveal enhanced shine and water beading. This simple and cost-effective method has kept my car's paint looking new for five years and reduced winter washing frequency. Additional tip: Check the wax label to ensure it's suitable for sub-zero temperatures, avoid applying before morning frost, and ensure proper ventilation for safety.
