What kind of wax should be used for sedans?

Different car waxes have varying performance characteristics and functions, so choosing the right wax for a sedan requires comprehensive consideration based on the wax's properties. Currently, the market mainly offers two types of car wax: solid wax and liquid wax. Generally, solid wax is a polishing wax, while liquid wax, also known as a gloss enhancer or glaze, only needs to be evenly applied to the paint surface. Benefits of waxing a car: Water resistance: Cars are often exposed to the elements, suffering from wind and rain, which can damage the body. Applying a layer of wax can reduce water droplet adhesion on the car's paint surface by 60-90%. Higher-end waxes can also flatten residual water droplets, minimizing the formation of dark spots caused by the focusing effect of intense sunlight, thereby reducing erosion and damage. Heat resistance: Car wax effectively reflects incoming light from various angles, preventing it from penetrating the clear coat and causing the base coat to age or discolor, thus extending the paint's lifespan. UV protection: The UV protection function of car wax works alongside its heat resistance. Since UV rays from sunlight can easily refract into the paint surface, car wax is designed with UV characteristics in mind to minimize damage to the car's surface. Anti-static: Static electricity in cars mainly arises from two sources: friction between synthetic fibers, silk, or wool fabrics, and friction between the car's paint surface and airborne dust during driving. The anti-static effect of car wax primarily targets the latter, effectively reducing friction between the paint surface and dust in the air.
