What is car wax? How often should you wax it?
Wax - in most cases - is about protection. You put a barrier between the varnish and the outside world to protect it from harmful substances in the air, UV rays and water. Water is of particular concern - rain and spray from the road are full of contaminants of all kinds that can easily transfer to the paint, so the best way to prevent it is to make sure the water runs off your body quickly and directly - something that will wax will do so by making the surface "hydrophobic".
Car wax is a traditional car paint maintenance. Car wax is mainly composed of natural wax or synthetic wax, which can increase the brightness by penetrating into the gap of the paint surface to make the surface smooth. The traditional car waxing is mainly based on the above light protection, and now with the development of the car beauty industry, car waxing has been endowed with a new connotation, that is, the emergence of grinding wax and its increasingly widespread application. If a car is waxed, a thicker layer of wax is required to achieve a better gloss effect. However, car wax is an oily substance, the bonding force between the oil film and the paint surface is poor, and the protection time is short. This wax is often lost due to factors such as rain or washing, and sometimes even adheres to the windshield to form grease, so car beauty Waxing should be done regularly.

3. Scope of application: suitable for paint surface care after polishing and refurbishment of new cars and old cars;
colored wax
1. Features: Color car wax is divided into 5 colors such as red, blue, green, gray and black, which can be polished immediately after polishing, saving time and effort. Different colors of cars use waxes of corresponding colors to modify the paint surface. Can cover up minor scratches;
2. How to use: Apply to the surface of the car body;
3. Scope of application: suitable for all kinds of car paint.
Chassis protection wax
1. Features: It is suitable for paint surface, rubber, plastic and PVC baking paint, which can prevent chassis corrosion and crushed stone impact for a long time, prevent the change of surface color, and achieve the effect of sound insulation and rust prevention;
2. Wash the chassis before use, and use a steel brush to remove rust until it is completely clean and can be sprayed without rust. Before use, shake the jar vigorously so that the internal chemicals can be fully mixed;
3. Precautions: This product is flammable. Attention should be paid to the protection of eyes, skin and respiratory system during use. It should not be sprayed on exhaust devices, brakes and vibration damping springs. It must be diluted with alcohol when using.
The wax suitable for the above characteristics should be properly selected according to the nature of the car paint, the use environment, the color, and the degree of old and new. It is best to paint the new car with light wax to protect the luster and color of the car body. When the driving environment is poor, apply the cheese wax with outstanding protection. Ordinary vehicles can choose pearl or metallic paint series car wax, high-end cars should choose high-end car wax, otherwise it will damage the car body.
What are the benefits of waxing?
As a traditional item of car beauty, the first function of waxing is to prevent water and acid rain. Due to the protection of car wax, the adhesion of water droplets on the car body will be reduced, and the effect is very obvious, which can reach 50% to 90%; secondly, it is anti-high temperature and Ultraviolet rays, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the car paint is easily aged and faded due to light when the car is driven or stored all year round, and the film formed by waxing can reflect part of the light, effectively avoiding the aging of the car paint; again, car wax can prevent static electricity , and of course also dustproof. When the car is running, it rubs against the air to generate static electricity, and the car wax can effectively cut off the friction between the car body and the air and dust. Less electrostatic car will naturally reduce the adsorption of dust, and car wax can also play the role of glazing, making the car look newer and better.
water proof:
Cars are often exposed to the air and are inevitably exposed to wind and rain. When water droplets remain on the surface of the car body, when the weather turns clear and under strong sunlight, each small water droplet is a convex lens. Under its focusing, the temperature at the focal point reaches 800 ~ 1000 ℃, resulting in dark spots on the paint surface, which greatly affects the quality and service life of the paint surface. In addition, water droplets tend to rust exposed metal surfaces. High-grade car wax can reduce the adhesion of water droplets by more than 90%, which greatly reduces the possibility of body corrosion and maximizes the protection of the paint surface.
High temperature resistance:
In the hot summer, it can reflect the incident light more or less, and it also has a protective effect on the car body, avoiding direct exposure to the paint, which will fade and wear.
Anti-UV:
If the car is exposed to the sun for a long time, the paint will age and fade, and the film formed by waxing can reflect part of the light to protect the paint. Anti-ultraviolet car wax fully considers the characteristics of ultraviolet rays to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the car watch. When the car is in use, it will inevitably be sanded by wind, rain and sand, which will cause certain damage to the car paint. Moreover, if the car is not washed for a long time, it is easy to corrode the car paint, so it is necessary to wax the car.
anti-static:
When the car is running, the metal of the car body and the dust in the air will generate electricity by friction, and static electricity will be generated from this. In order to prevent the generation of these static electricity, the body should be waxed.
How often should a car be waxed?
Cars that are often parked in garages should be waxed every 4 months, and cars that are often parked in open-air parking lots should be waxed every two months. Due to the different driving and parking environments of cars, whether or not to wax should be considered according to the actual vehicle usage and the urban environment. Rainwater contains a lot of acidic substances, and there is a lot of rainwater, so the number of waxings can be relatively more. Generally speaking, the way to check whether to wax or not is to touch the body with your hand to see if the light is not smooth. If it feels rough to the touch and there is a feeling of sand, it proves that it is time to wax. Car paint polishing is generally a slight scratch on the vehicle paint surface that needs to be polished, and there is no accurate time.
