- A non abrasive car wax- A terry cloth towel- An old cloth- A damp sponge
Buy a non abrasive car wax product from any local auto shop in your area. You can ask your local auto dealer for the best non abrasive car wax. The following are the commonly used non abrasive car wax products, Eagle One 0281616 Nanowax, Zymol hand crafted wax among others.
The type of car wax you choose matters too. The above mentioned types of wax do not leave any wax residue and yet they leave your car with an amazing shine.
It is important for you to apply the car wax on a clean car for maximum results, wash the car with soapy water and rinse it well. Applying car wax on a dusty surface can damage the paint of the car leaving it with uneven patches on the surface. After washing the car, allow it to dry completely before you apply the car wax. Use a dry cloth to dry the parts on the car that have not dried up yet.
Applying car wax to a surface with water will effect how the the car wax is absorbed, that is why it is important that you dry the surface well before applying the car wax. Park the car in a shade away from direct sunlight, and use a damp cloth to apply the car wax on the car's surface.
Read the instructions of use on the car wax product before using it. Never apply the car wax while the car is under direct sunlight, because this will damage the paint on the car. Apply the car wax in circular motions, while applying pressure to ensure proper absorption. Do it well making sure that you have applied the wax on the entire car. Look for any areas that need more waxing for an even distribution.
Watch out for creases after applying the car wax, if there are any creases or pockets of wax especially in areas with grooves, then use a small brush to remove the creases. Use your terry cloth to wipe of the car wax from the car after application for a glossy finish. Lastly, buff the car with an old cloth to get a good shine. Your car should be looking as good as new after you have finished working on it.
