Car Waxing
Car waxing is a specialized product for car paint care, by adding a protective layer to it that helps prevent scratches, swirls, fading, and other damage to your car's paint, whether old or new.
Car wax protects your car's paint from oxidation, a chemical process that causes the transparent layer to fade due to direct and continuous exposure to hot sunlight, and it also works to prevent the effect of harmful chemicals and UV rays that must affect your car at some point in its life.
One of the most common things that contributed to the popularity of car waxing and the desire of car owners to use it is that it gives a wonderful shine to your car's paint regardless of its color, as many car enthusiasts now use waxing to add a beautiful and shiny finish to their cars of various types of sports, classic, and even ordinary cars.

Features of car waxing
Car wax has many benefits that will make you love it and want to apply it to your car immediately, like:
Protects the paint from corrosion
A car's paint is a thin layer of color plus a layer of transparent paint protector, and high-quality car wax protects this layer from corrosion caused by dirt, dust, sunlight, and any other hazards, which means protecting the paint underneath.
Removes minor paint imperfections
Car paint, especially the transparent layer that protects it, is exposed to many factors that lead to the formation of scratches on it, and these scratches may be simple and cannot be seen, or deep and difficult to repair except by repainting, and for simple and medium scratches, car wax works to refill them until they disappear completely or at least become difficult to notice with the naked eye.
Keeps the paint cleaner for longer
Waxing helps keep your car clean and free of dirt and dust for longer because it contains a substance that prevents dirt from sticking to the paint, in addition to covering most of the scratches on the paint, so dirt has nowhere to hide and therefore washing intervals will be longer than usual.
Provides a great shine
One of the most important reasons for using wax on the paint is because it gives the car a wonderful luster and shine to look like it just came out of the factory, meaning that the lights and sunlight reflect on it better than the original paint, which increases the splendor and beauty of the car, especially if it is a high-performance sports or super sports car.
Prevents water from collecting on the car
It is known that wax is a water-resistant material that does not adhere to water, so waxing the car creates a layer that helps prevent water from collecting on your car, whether during rain or washing, which prevents water from reaching the paint and exposing it to fading, in addition to preventing several other factors such as rust and corrosion.
Disadvantages of car waxing
Besides the advantages, car wax also has disadvantages, namely:
Many confusing types
There are many car waxing products that will put you in confusion as to which one to choose for your car, there are liquid waxes with a sprayer, there are waxes that are cohesive like hair gel, there are types to give an immediate and quick shine but do not last long, and there are types that last long but need a longer application, so we advise you to search well for the right product for you and choose the high-quality quality.
Some good waxes are expensive
If you want to preserve your car and paint well for a long time, do not choose cheap waxing products, but rather choose the well-known, but there are many well-known and high-quality products that are expensive, so choose expensive products from the beginning to get the best result and to preserve your car, but not to cause damage to the paint due to cheap products.
The proliferation of cheap products
Some types of car wax, especially the cheap ones, contain strong chemicals, and these substances are harmful to the car body and paint, so instead of preserving the paint, they will destroy it and expose it to greater risks than the original car paint, so pay attention to this matter and buy well-known products.
You need to Re-wax every once in a while
No matter how good the quality of the wax you use, it has a specific life span on the car, so you have to re-wax the car every now and then depending on the quality of the product used and its validity period on the paint, and this may be expensive for you or take a lot of effort.
Requires some care
If you want to wash your car soon after applying the wax, you must take care when washing and use a special washing liquid to avoid removing the wax layer on your car and to preserve it for as long as possible.
Waxing takes time
If you intend to wax your car, you must take into account that the process needs some time, it may take you to wax the entire car for several hours when applying the correct steps accurately without rushing, because the hurry will give you an unsatisfactory result and you will have wasted time and money on an incorrect waxing process.
Waxing requires some skill
The car waxing process has very important rules and steps that you must follow that are mentioned on the product packaging, such as distributing the product evenly and rubbing the sponge or towel in a certain way, and you must have some skill or learn this skill to get the best result, and so that your effort is not wasted in vain.
