Car wax application is a central component of overall car care that dates back decades. Waxing on and waxing off with car wax gives your ride a showroom-new look. According to our MINI of Portland service team, the benefits of car wax are more than merely superficial.
Protection from Pollutants
Environmental pollutants are one of the main superficial culprits that age your car prematurely. Unfortunately, road spray and rainwater are two major sources that your car encounters frequently throughout the year. Car wax resists water, so road spray, rainwater and its pollutants roll of of your vehicle. This prevents your clearcoat from eroding away after prolonged exposure to corrosive chemicals and pollutants.
Natural & Synthetic
Car wax comes in natural and synthetic versions sourced from coal, palm trees, carnauba plants and silicones. Mixing car wax with oils and solvents gives it a malleable texture that makes it easier to spread and buff. The texture of car wax helps it sink into gaps within your clearcoat. This improves the integrity of your car's clearcoat, giving it a water repellent seal and a brilliant, like-new shine. Our MINI of Portland service department advises a full car wax at least three times per year.
