Car Wax: Liquid, Paste, or Spray On? - Html View

<h1>Car Wax: Liquid, Paste, or Spray On?</h1> Car wax makes your cars finish glow and makes the shine last longer, but only if you use the right wax. Some car waxes can scratch and haze your cars finish; others can make your finish gleam, but coat the plastic parts in a visible residue. When you go to choose from the shelves upon shelves of car waxes at your local auto store, here are a few questions to keep in mind. <br /> Which is more important to you, depth of color or shine? Natural car waxes, such as Carnauba wax, give a cars finish depth, but slightly less shine. Artificial waxes, like most liquid and spray on waxes, give a high shine but less depth of color, and can highlight fine scratches. Dark colors in particular suffer with artificial waxes. For the best possible color on darker cars, experts suggest waxing them only with natural waxes. Lighter cars can take either kind of wax, depending on whether you value color or gleam more highly. <br /> Does the exterior of your car include much plastic? Porous, matte plastic, especially dark plastic, reacts badly with some car waxes and acquires a conspicuous residue that may take special cleaners to remove. If your car is detailed with a lot of plastic, find a wax that is rated as working well with plastic. <br /> How long do you want each application of car wax to last, and how much time are you willing to invest in waxing? Consumer Reports performed a comparison test and found that liquid waxes were the most durable and the best at cleaning. They also took the longest to apply, mainly because of all the extra buffing needed to spread the wax evenly and reduce streaking. Spray on waxes were the least durable and did the worst job at cleaning, but they were also the quickest and easiest to apply. Consumer Reports recommended them mainly for new cars whose finishes were in excellent condition, for owners who were willing to wax frequently, and for stopgap treatments in between treatments with liquid or paste wax. Paste waxes were about as durable as liquid waxes, and their application time was comparable. Consumer Reports noted that while paste waxes used to be difficult to apply, they now come with applicators that make them even easier to apply than liquid waxes. <br /> When you choose a car wax, consider what visual qualities are most important to you, whether you need to take the plastic detailing on your car into account, how long you are willing to take to apply wax, and how often you are willing to apply wax. Be honest with yourself, and do not feel pressured to buy a wax that takes a lot of effort and upkeep simply because the experts say you should. Unless the experts are going to come and wax your car for you every month, choose the type of car wax that suits both your car and you. -- <b>About the Author</b> Learn the real scoop on <a href="http://AddictedToYourCar.com/" title="Car wash supplies">waterless car wash</a>, stop by AddictedToYourCar.com.
