Car wax does more than make your car look shiny and new. Its benefits are more than superficial, according to the techs in our Acura of Laurel service department. What exactly is car wax? Here's a basic rundown of its content and benefits.
Wax on, Wax Off
Widespread use of synthetic and natural car waxes is normal. Neither is better; they're just different. Natural car waxes come from things like palm trees, carnauba plants and coal. Synthetic car waxes contain silicones. Both products have added solvents and oils. The solvents and oils make the waxes easier to spread.
How Car Wax Protects Your Ride
Car wax repels water, protecting your car from corrosive pollutants found in road spray and rain water. Car wax also fills in and evens out gaps in your clearcoat, giving your car a more uniform shine. This shine typically lasts a few months. So do the major benefits of car wax. For optimal results, our Acura of Laurel service techs recommend having your car waxed at least three times per year.
