What are the benefits of car waxing?

Car waxing serves several purposes: 1. It makes it difficult for rainwater to adhere to the car's surface, preventing acid rain from corroding the paint; 2. The thin layer formed by waxing reflects light, avoiding paint aging; 3. It prevents the generation of static electricity, reducing the adhesion of charged dust to the car's paint surface; 4. It enhances the brightness of the paint. Precautions for car waxing include: 1. Master the frequency of waxing; 2. Do not use dishwashing liquid or soapy water when cleaning, as the sodium chloride content in the detergent can erode the car's paint layer, wax film, and rubber parts, causing the paint to lose its luster; 3. Use a sponge block to apply an appropriate amount of car wax, applying it in straight lines back and forth on the car body, and avoid pouring wax liquid on the car and smearing it randomly or applying it in circular motions.
I believe car waxing primarily adds a protective layer to the paint, preventing daily damage. In our region with intense sunlight, UV rays can cause paint to age and fade. After waxing, it acts like a reflective layer, shielding against sun damage. Acidic substances in rainwater are also troublesome, but the wax film resists corrosion and causes water to bead up and roll off without pooling. When driving, flying gravel can easily scratch the paint, but waxed surfaces have increased hardness, significantly reducing minor scratches. Additionally, waxed surfaces are smooth, preventing dust buildup and making car washing more water-efficient and effortless. Using liquid wax yourself is very cost-effective. Regular waxing keeps the car shiny and extends the paint's lifespan by three to five years, avoiding the need for costly repainting or major repairs. This money is well spent.
