How to Wax a Car

Another important car care detail that is sometimes forgotten about is waxing the vehicle’s paint job. Arguably, waxing a car has many benefits. For one, it helps protect the car’s body from corrosion. It can also help remove and prevent against water spots. In addition to these things, wax also protects a vehicle’s paint job from heat damage which can be caused from continuous exposure to sunlight. At the same time, waxing a car also makes it appear shinier and smoother than a car without wax. Here are the basic steps towards waxing a vehicle:
1) Be sure that the car’s surface is clean, preferably directly after a car wash
2) Put some wax on a clean rag (small ones work best and are the easiest to use)
3) Apply the wax by putting pressure in a circular motion against the body of the car
4) Wait a few minutes than remove the wax by using another clean rag (for this step you should use a larger rag)
5) Repeat these steps for the entire vehicle, but make sure that the hood and roof are thoroughly done because these are the spots that are the most susceptible from damage due to prolonged heat exposure.
Some recommended and high quality wax brands include Meguiars, Turtle Wax, and Hawaiian Island Shine.
