What is the method for waxing a car by yourself?
1 Answers
Thoroughly clean the car with dedicated car wash liquid, dry it completely, then use a circular sponge specifically for solid car wax to apply the wax evenly on the car paint surface. Related introductions are as follows: 1. The function of waxing: Waxing has functions such as polishing, waterproofing, acid rain protection, UV protection, dustproofing, and antistatic. Compared to other paint maintenance projects like glazing, coating, and crystal coating, waxing is cheaper but less effective and lasts for a shorter time. Generally, it can last for about 1 month. In rainy weather or with frequent car washing, the wax will wear off faster, and the maintenance time will be shorter. 2. Antistatic effect: Static electricity brings many inconveniences to the driver and may even cause harm. The antistatic effect of car wax is mainly reflected in preventing static electricity on the car surface. Its principle is to block the friction between dust and the metal surface. Due to the different thickness of the wax layer and the adhesion ability of the wax itself, its antistatic effect varies. Generally, antistatic car wax is better than ordinary car wax in blocking the friction between dust and the paint surface. 3. Waterproof effect: Under strong sunlight, each small water droplet acts as a convex lens. Under its focusing effect, the temperature at the focal point can reach 800-1000 degrees, causing dark spots on the car paint and greatly affecting the quality and lifespan of the paint. It also easily causes rust on exposed metal surfaces. Car wax repels water-based substances, making it difficult for water droplets to adhere to the car body surface.
