Understanding Car Wax
Car wax acts as a sacrificial barrier, shielding your car's paint from environmental elements. The most commonly used waxes include carnauba, montan, and beeswax, with synthetic variations also available. Typically, wax lasts up to three months before needing to be refreshed through a strip and reapplication process, although this depends on the car's lifestyle, and garage queens can wear a wax for well over one year.Benefits of Waxing
Waxing is ideal for cars not subjected to heavy everyday use and is often garaged. Beyond protection, waxes provide a warm glow and intense depth to your vehicle's painted surfaces. Additionally, waxing can be applied by hand using a foam applicator, making it accessible for all car enthusiasts. It can also help fill in minor paint imperfections, enhancing the overall appearance of your vehicle.Choosing the Right Wax: Traditional vs. Hybrid
When it comes to selecting a wax, it's all about personal preference. Traditional waxes contain varying amounts of carnauba and are available in soft or hard wax forms and different colours to match your paint and enhance depth.
