Sealing and waxing your auto paint is an important part of protecting the clear-coat finish. Follow these specific steps to apply a sealer and wax finish succesfully.
Step one: use a good clay bar before you wax and seal the paint. Following the manufacturers directions, use the clay bar to remove dust and other particles that lodge in your paint. Using the clay bar before you wax and seal the paint, will help prevent sealing in dirt and creating more scratches.
Step two: use polish and gently rub out existing scratches. Be sure to wipe away excess polish from the cracks and trim. Don't apply your wax and seal until the excess polish is removed as this will interfere with good coverage from the sealer and from the wax itself.
Step three: seal the surface with a sealer or glaze such as Lane's Ultimate Glaze or Horizon Glaze Cleaner Polishers. When you seal your auto paint, you fill in the minor scratches that were not removed with polishing alone. The sealer helps even the surface and eliminates deeper scratches. For best results in removing scratches and improving your paint job, sealing is definitely recommended.
The final step is the wax itself. Wax puts a protective layer over your auto paint. To apply wax, use long even strokes, making sure to get an even layer over the sealed paint. Use just enough wax to cover the surface. After the wax dries, buff vigorously with a clean cotton towel. Be sure to buff off all the wax and run your hand over the paint to make sure it is gone.
It takes effort to wax and seal the paint on your car, but it is well worth it. Not only will it pay off in extending the life of your paint, but the effects of waxing and sealing the paint will enhance your car's appearance for years to come.
