What Harm Does Car Wax Cause to Cars?
1 Answers
Car wax does not cause harm to vehicles. Advantages of car waxing: Cars are frequently exposed to the air, which inevitably leads to exposure to wind and rain. When water droplets remain on the surface of the car body and the weather improves, under intense sunlight, each water droplet acts as a convex lens. Under its focusing effect, the temperature at the focal point reaches 800-1000°C, causing black spots on the paint surface, significantly affecting the quality and lifespan of the paint. Additionally, water droplets can easily cause rust on exposed metal surfaces. Heat resistance: The principle behind car wax's heat resistance is its ability to effectively reflect incoming light from various directions, preventing the light from causing aging or discoloration of the paint or primer. Anti-static function: There are two main sources of static electricity in cars. One is the friction from fibrous materials, such as carpets, seats, and clothing. The other is the friction between dust in the air and the metal surface of the car body during driving. Regardless of the source, static electricity can cause significant inconvenience or even harm to passengers. The anti-static function of wax primarily manifests in preventing static electricity on the car's surface, with its principle being to isolate the friction between dust and the car's metal surface. Due to differences in the thickness of the wax layer and the adhesive properties of the wax itself, the anti-static effect can vary. Generally, anti-static car wax performs better than regular car wax in preventing friction between dust and the paint surface.
