Auto body repair technicians recommend waxing your car to protect it from the harsh environment. The hot sun beating on the car will cause the paint to fade; salt from the roads in the winter time will corrosion.
A coat of wax will provide a shield to protect the paint and make minor scratches, stone ships and other damages less visible. Waxing your car will help reduce corrosion. Waxing your car periodically provides a seal to prevent water from coming into contact with bare metal exposed by deep scratches.
Your car should be waxed every three months to protect the paint and maintain the color and shine. Some products claim to last much longer, but this is a myth; you should wax your car regularly for best results.
Wash the car and allow it to dry completely and park it in a shady spot as most products work better when the surface is cool to the touch. Use a good quality wax with no abrasives and a soft, clean cloth to apply the wax. Work in sections, spreading the product evenly. Wait a couple minutes for the wax to haze and then buff it with a soft towel using circular motions to restore the shine.
Avoid touching areas like rubber door seals and black window trim because the wax will leave white stains. If this happens, window spray works well for cleaning these areas.
If you have neglected to wax you car for a long time you might have to take it to a detailing shop to be buffed with polishing compound to remove scratches and abrasions. This can be a hassle!
The good news is, there is an alternative. Have the body shop come to you! A mobile auto body shop can often repair minor dents and scratches in just a few hours so you don’t have the inconvenience of leaving your car at the body shop for a few days.
A mobile auto body shop that comes to you is typically cheaper and the quality of work is good, if not better, than the body shop that keeps your car while you have to pay for a rental or arrange alternate transportation.
