Car body waxing knowledge introduction

Waxing is really good for car maintenance and maintenance, but at present, many car owners have some one-sided understanding of car wax, such as some car owners will give the car frequent waxing, and some will simply not fight, and some owners believe that car wax more As expensive as possible, so use imported car wax. In fact, these practices are not appropriate. Here are some of the relevant knowledge of car wax, as well as precautions when waxing.

The first is how to choose car wax. At present, there are a wide variety of waxes on the market, ranging from solids to liquids, and the quality of car wax is not the same. Different car wax performance is different, its role and effect is not the same, so must be careful when choosing, improper selection not only can not protect the body, but make the car paint discoloration.

Under normal circumstances, it should be based on the characteristics of car wax, the newness of the vehicle, paint color and driving environment and other factors. The new car is best to use color coated wax to protect the body's luster and color, in the summer should choose to use anti-ultraviolet car wax, when the driving environment is poor application of prominent tree wax. Ordinary vehicles use ordinary pearl or metal paint series car wax, high-end cars should use high-grade car wax, or damage to the body. Of course, the choice of car wax must also be considered when adapting to the color of the car paint. Generally, dark car paint uses car wax of black, red and green series, and light car paint uses silver, white and pearl car wax.

It should be noted that the new car should not be waxed. It is not enough to wax a vehicle after someone buys a new one. Because the new car itself has a layer of protective wax on the lacquer layer, premature waxing will remove the original wax on the surface of the new car, causing unnecessary waste. Normally, the new car will not have to rush to wax within five months after purchase.

Second, we must master the frequency of waxing. The time interval for waxing should also be different due to the environment in which the vehicle is driving and the parking place. Generally, there are parking garages and vehicles that drive on good roads. You can make a wax every 3 to 4 months. For vehicles parked in the open air, it is best to apply wax every 2 to 3 months due to wind and rain. Judgment can also be made by touching. In general, when the body is touched by hand and does not feel smooth, it can be waxed again.

It is best to wash the dirt and dust on the exterior of the body with car wash water before waxing. Remember not to use detergent and soapy water blindly, as the sodium chloride ingredients contained in it will attack the paintwork, wax film and rubber parts of the car, which will make the car paint lose luster and the rubber parts will age. If there is no special car wash water, the vehicle can be washed with clean water and the car body can be wiped dry and then waxed.

The car should be waxed in the shade to ensure that the body does not become hot. Because with the increase of temperature, the adhesion of car wax becomes worse, which will affect the waxing quality.

When waxing, apply a proper amount of car wax to the sponge block and paint it on the car body in a straight line. Do not pour the wax liquid on the car or circle it. A job must be completed in a row. Stop painting. Normally, the wax layer can be rubbed with a new towel after 5 to 10 minutes. However, the quick wax should be polished.

After the car body is waxed, there will be some car wax left in the gaps between the lights, license plates, doors, and trunks, making the car body look unattractive. Wax scales in these areas may rust if not cleaned in time. Therefore, the wax must be completely removed after the wax is finished, so as to obtain a perfect waxing effect.
