Wax is the primary material to prevent the oxidization of the paint of an automobile. The protecting layer formed by the vehicle wax is just enough to save the paint from oxidization and it cannot form complete protection from all damage, for example bird droppings and scratches from heavy objects. Car wax also gives your auto a natural shine and saves it from harsh environment.

Though vehicle wax doesn’t provide complete protection from scratches in any it does make them less obvious which is awfully constructive. Car wax isn’t a permanent application and must be reapplied regularly for most satisfactory results. The life of a high quality automobile wax is three to four months so there’s a need for reapplication each 3 months.

Also your car must be clean and dry before you start waxing it. It’s a smart move to ensure you buy a non abrasive auto wax so your vehicle doesn’t get damaged in any way Advisably you should go thru directions provided on the package itself and test the wax on a tiny area first so as to check if it is right for your car.

While waxing follow a top t bottom approach as it generally considered the bottom panel of the auto are the most dirty. It is preferable to make a thin and even layer all over the automobile and thick layers must be avoided as due to that the shine is lost. Only use car wax on the painted, metal bits and avoid touching the rubber, glass and other parts which will get spoilt if wax is used on them. After trying the wax evenly all over, wait for two minutes before buffing it for a pleasant and glossy look.
