Spray car wax is often underestimated, but in many cases, it can be the best car wax for your car. If you’re looking for a protective coating and that new-car wet sheen, in fact, spray car wax is exactly what the detailer ordered for your car. Here are some facts about spray car wax and some tips to help you get the very best shine on your vehicle. Benefits of Spray Wax Exactly what do today’s spray waxes offer that’s so good for your car? Here’s a quick rundown:
- Quality ingredients
A good spray car wax has many of the same ingredients you’ll find in high quality traditional waxes, along with silicone sealants to protect your new car finish and give it that glossy look you love.
- UV Protection
A good spray car wax protects as well as shines. Most contain ingredients that protect the color from the sun’s fading UV rays, as well as silicone to repel water, dust and other less savory things that might land on your car.
- Ease of Use
Nothing could be easier than spray wax for your car. Unlike pastes and liquids, which have to be applied in tiny areas and then dry before you can buff them away, spray car waxes are spray-on-wipe-off simple. The wax always goes on evenly, making it easy to get a high-gloss shine without buffing for hours.
- No streaks or ‘misting’
Because spray car wax contains no abrasives at all, you never have to worry about those microfine scratches that dull your car’s finish or leave permanent buff marks on the paint job, even if you apply it in the sun or on a hot car
- Fast Shine
You can do a whole panel of your car at once – and because spray wax requires no buffing, you don’t spend hours bringing out the shine. In fact, you can get a high gloss, protective finish in about 10 to 15 minutes – and your shoulders won’t ache for the next three days.
- Use on Everything
One of the best features of spray car wax is the fact that you can use it on all your car’s exterior surfaces, including chrome, window glass, plastic and rubber trim and even your tires. Tips for Applying Spray Car Wax
- Wash and dry the car completely before applying.
- Use a microfiber towel to wipe the spray car wax away to avoid lint sticking to the finish.
- Use a separate cloth for glass and chrome.
- Add additional coats for more protection and wetter shine.
