| Probably one of the most confusing services for vehicle owners is waxing. To most, it seems like a mandatory feature that needs to be done whenever and wherever it is offered. Vehicle owners are lulled into a false sense of security that their vehicle will be protected against road debris and the elements, simply by lubing up the exterior of the ride. While wax does protect the paint job of your car, it isn’t something that has to be replenished once a week, or even once a month. However, there are specified times of reapplication. Each manufacturer gives its products a specific time frame at which it will work best and then when it will need to be applied again. The better the wax, the longer you can expect to wait in between services. Carbide wax, for example, is one of the leading options for most Plano car detailing locations. It provides the best application and protection for paint. When talking about the protective properties of car wax, what this means is how well it does against UV rays and how well it protects the car from rock chips and scratches. Think of wax as another layer of skin. When applied, you are giving your clear coat an extra layer between it and the elements. For scratches in the paint, they will easily be buffed out with elbow grease. Most of the swirls you see in a car that has a wax application can be removed simply by stripping and putting on a fresh coat. With so many wax products available, it can be a challenge deciding which is right for you or if you should leave it up to the professionals. While you can get some products from your local automotive store, it is almost always best to use the professionals. Not only are you assured every inch of the surface is covered, but you also get high-grade products that are built to last. If you are in doubt about how long you should go between waxes, use the same company to keep track of your service history. Some places provide this convenience if they don’t see if they can give a sticker. For most vehicles and products, expect to need a wax service every three to six months. For some wax, you can go as long as a year, but at that point, its protectant properties would have diminished significantly. Always check what the brand says about when to apply and follow directions for the best results, unless you are taking your vehicle to a detailer. [B][U] |
