What Kind of Wax Works Best for Car Waxing?
1 Answers
Generally, dark-colored car paint should use black, red, or green series waxes, while light-colored car paint should use silver, white, or pearl series waxes. More expensive doesn't necessarily mean better; choose the brand according to the instructions, and once determined, avoid switching models. When a car moves, friction with the air generates static electricity, and car wax can effectively block the friction between the car body and air or dust. Less static means less dust adhesion, and car wax also provides a polishing effect, making the car appear newer and more attractive. For new cars, it's best to wait 1-2 months before waxing. Below are some relevant explanations: 1. Waxing Duration: New cars come with a factory-applied wax layer, so there's no need to wax immediately to avoid waste and ineffectiveness. However, since wax protection is short-lived, it typically lasts only 1-2 months, even shorter in rainy weather. 2. Waxing Timing: Consider waxing when the car body feels rough or shows imperfections when touched by hand. For non-metallic paint on new cars, wax every 3 months; for metallic paint, every 6 months is sufficient. 3. Benefits of Waxing: Waxing is a traditional car care practice that applies a protective layer of wax to the car body. Its primary benefits include waterproofing and protection against acid rain, as the wax reduces water droplet adhesion. It also protects against high temperatures and UV rays; in summer, prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause paint to fade and age, but the wax film reflects some light, effectively preventing paint aging. Additionally, it prevents static electricity and dust accumulation.
