A shiny body with your own hands: the secrets of applying car wax

Preparation is the basis of success

• Thorough washing. Before applying the wax, be sure to wash the car with a special car shampoo. Remove all contamination, including bitumen stains and tree resin. Even the smallest particles of dirt can scratch the body during waxing.
• Drying the body. Make sure the body is completely dry before applying the wax. Remaining water can prevent the uniform distribution of the protective layer.

We choose the right means

• Car wax. There are many types of car wax: pasty, liquid, solid. For beginners, liquid wax is better - it is easier to apply evenly.
• Microfiber napkins. You will need two microfiber cloths: one for applying wax, the other for polishing. Choose clean, lint-free napkins.

The waxing process

• Work in the shade. Direct sunlight contributes to the rapid drying of the wax, which can make it difficult to distribute it evenly.
• Process the body in sections. Do not try to wax the entire car at once. Divide the surface into small sections (door, wing, etc.) and process them sequentially.
• A thin layer is the key to success. Apply a small amount of wax to a microfiber cloth. It is better to apply a thin layer of wax twice than one thick layer.
• Circular movements. Evenly distribute the wax in a circular motion over the selected area.
• Polishing to a shine. After the wax dries a little (a slight dullness will appear), polish the surface with a clean microfiber cloth to a shine.

The final stage

• Visual control. Walk around the car and make sure that the wax is applied evenly over the entire surface. If necessary, polish unpolished areas.

Remember! Regular application of car wax is the key to the longevity of your car's paintwork. Wax protects the body from burning in the sun, repels water and dirt, and also gives a good shine. By following these simple tips, you will be able to protect your "iron horse" yourself and make it shine.
