4 Reasons Why Professional Hand Car Waxing is the Best Choice for Your Car

People often talk about a car being waxed, but if you are not a car enthusiast, you may wonder if you should bother with the whole detailing and waxing process. The answer to that is ‘yes.’ Your car’s exterior gets many benefits from a thorough, professional hand waxing.

The Benefits of a High-Quality Wax Application

Wax covers your car’s exterior with a sort of armour that keeps many threats to your car at bay. The wax gets between the UV rays and your paint, which will keep the sun from bleaching the colour off your car. The sun’s UV rays can also mix with oxygen to break paint down at the molecular level, and a coat of wax will slow this process down.

1. Protects Your Paint From The Sun’s UV Rays

The wax gets between the UV rays and your paint, which will keep the sun from bleaching the colour off your car. The sun’s UV rays can also mix with oxygen to break paint down at the molecular level, and a coat of wax will slow this process down, preserving your vehicle’s value and look.

2. Shields Against Scratches and Nicks

The wax will even protect the car’s exterior from superficial scratches and dents. Gravel flicking against your hood and similar attacks on your car’s paint job are inevitable, and they can leave tiny nicks on the surface that detract from the overall health and appearance of the exterior. A thick coat of wax over the car keeps objects from getting to the paint, acting as a crucial sacrificial layer.

3. Repels Rain and Prevents Water Spots

Rain water collects whatever is in the air, so it is full of minerals which can affect your paint. When the rain evaporates, it leaves behind a white film of minerals on your car, called water spots. Wax is a type of oil, so it naturally repels water. The rain (or any other water droplets) will simply bead up and fall off your car without coating your paint, keeping your car cleaner for longer.

4. Keeps Your Vehicle Looking New (A Showroom Shine)

We all like to keep our cars pristine. A professional car waxing will give it that fresh-off-the-car-lot look, making it look as nice to others as it feels to you. That deep, glossy shine often inspires people to drive more carefully around your vehicle just to avoid ruining something that looks brand new.

Why Choose Professional Hand Waxing Over a Machine

There are machines that people have used to apply that final coat of wax. They come in high-speed rotary and random orbital rotaries, and are distinguished by the direction that the buffers travel. They work by having wax applied to a buffer and then be run over your car’s exterior. There are, however, benefits to doing the job by hand.

Precision and Thoroughness

Wax is not good for plastic trim and joints, as it can turn those parts white and chalky. Doing the waxing by hand ensures that the wax comes up to the very edge of the trim or joint, but doesn’t go over. This means that all of your car’s paint job will be protected without damaging the sensitive trim pieces.

Gentleness and Control

It’s a gentle way to apply wax- the person applying it will be able to feel all the contours of your car and visually check for an even coat as they go along. Waxing is the final step in a multi-step detailing process, so you want this step to be as gentle and as carefully done as possible. Hands are always easy on the just-cleaned paint, whereas machines can scratch up the surface if they aren’t used correctly.
