Protect Your Car's Exterior From Winter With A Good Waxing!
Sealing and waxing your auto paint is an all important step in protecting the finish of your car and extending the exterior's life. Here are some easy tips for applying a sealer and wax finish correctly.
First, we recommend that you use a clay bar before you wax and seal the paint on your car. Use the clay bar in one small section at a time to remove dust and other debris and particles that lodge in the paint on your car. If you use a clay bar before you wax and seal the paint on your car, you won't seal the dirt in and you'll be starting with a literal clean slate.
Next, use polish and gently rub out existing scratches that you can see. Make certain that you wipe away any excess polish from the cracks and the trim of your car. It isn't time to apply your wax and seal until the excess polish is removed as this will inhibit good coverage from the sealer and from the wax itself when applied to your car.
Third step is to seal the surface with a sealer or glaze. 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. Plus it minimizes the look of scratches.
The last step is putting the wax on your car. Wax works by putting a protective layer over the paint on the car. When applying wax, use long, even strokes and get an even layer over all the painted areas on your car. After the wax dries, buff vigorously with a clean towel, don't use a towel from your bathroom unless you like fibers all over your cars finish. Use a microfiber towel made for this job.
It takes a little time, but taking the time to wax and seal the paint will pay off big time by extending the life of your car's finish.
