If you live in an area with significant accumulations of snow or where temperatures drop significantly, you might already know that cars suffer a lot aesthetically due to the weather. The climatic conditions that winter brings have two factors, a lot of humidity that sometimes translates into precipitation or, quite the opposite, no moisture, which can facilitate the solid formations of elements in vulnerable places. Thanks to the acidity of the elements, both combinations are an initial step to generate oxidation and, if not attended, corrosion. The first victim of the weather? The clear coat, then the paint, and finally the metal underneath.

Why Should You Wax It?

Waxing the car will protect it. The wax acts as a barrier between paint, metal components, and elements that react to oxidation. Above all, it will serve as a water and moisture repellent. The tires of other cars lift debris and stones from the pavement, so the protective coating that remains after applying liquid wax to the vehicle will prevent these projectiles from slipping and scratching the paint.

In the Case of Precipitation during Winter,

This can generate ice on the pavement, and when circulating on it, it will create a layer of a kind of gray scraping, which sticks on all sides. This is made of ice with dirt, grease, fuel, and many other nasty things that mix with the water when it hits the pavement. This mixture of elements can do a lot of damage to paint and metal, but using car wax will keep all of this from sticking to your car's surfaces.

When Is the Best Time to Wax the Car?

Due to how simple the application of the liquid wax is, it's recommended to carry out deep cleaning and then proceed with the application of the wax before each change of season. This will remove contaminants stuck to the body and under the car. Because each season generates various waste and damage, in combination with the debris from the rest of the cars, it can cause damage to the aesthetics of your vehicle.

Learn How to Apply the Wax

If you've never done this before, or if you forgot the process, here are some points to remember before waxing your car.

Wash the Car Well

Before applying the wax, make sure the vehicle is clean. It's prudent to use a special soap during washing to avoid the wear of the paint. Also, it would help if you waited until it has dried down, as it will be easier for the wax to adhere to the surface.

Use Polish against Worn Paint

When the car's paint is dull, scratched, or damaged, you should use polish before applying the wax. These compounds are abrasive so that they will remove a thin layer of the varnish. In this way, you'll get a smooth and even coat out of the product.

Rub the Wax Gently

It would be best to gently rub the wax on the body with a sponge, using circular movements. The car can be divided into sections so you can tackle each segment waxed one by one.

Anticipate Climatic Conditions

Make sure you do the waxing on a warm day, between 55 and 86  degrees Fahrenheit. Don't forget that the hotter the day, the quicker the wax will dry. Remove it in less than 5 minutes after applying the product since it's necessary to do it with some humidity to avoid leaving stains.

Polish the Car

It's recommended to polish the car with a low-speed polisher to optimize the result. Besides, it's essential to consider getting a better shine and superior protection with several thin layers of wax. Don't forget to use the correct type of wax. The most commonly used ones are synthetic, natural, and liquid. Synthetics are known as sealers and stand out for their durability of up to six months. Natural waxes last between one and two months and provide a greater depth of color to the vehicle. Lastly, liquid formulas can be natural or synthetic and have a much easier application, although these waxes have the least durability.
