A car wax simply protests your paintwork by creating a barrier between your paintwork and dirt and grime. Unlike car polish, a wax won’t correct paintwork. If you’ve got swirl marks and other paint defects, then you’ll need to use a polish before applying wax. The method of applying wax to your car will change slightly depending on the sort of wax you have. Here, we’ll cover how to apply the two different types of car wax, paste and liquid. As you might have guessed, paste wax is harder, and requires more effort to buff into the car’s panels, while liquid is soft, naturally. Wax Paste

Paste wax will take the longest to apply but will give the best overall coverage. It will provide a much deeper shine and finish but can easily eat up an entire afternoon. Protection against UV rays– Arguably the biggest benefit of using wax is protection from harmful UV rays. UV rays can cause lots of damage to the clearcoat layer of paintwork on a car. When a car is painted at the factory, it has a base colour applied (the actual colour of the car) and then a clear, protective layer called clearcoat is applied on top of that. The clearcoat is what makes a car’s paintwork shiny and as the name suggests, it’s completely clear. It’s really important to keep the clearcoat protected, that’s exactly what a wax does. All natural wax will need reapplying every six weeks or so and will protect your paintwork from UV rays, water and other contaminants.Shortly after its launch double speed-wax won ‘Best Car Wax 2015’ in an independent test by Auto Express Magazine against 23 competitors from all around the world and has won every year since.

Pastes generally provide the best finish, but often require buffing to bring out the shine after application. Sprays and liquids can be applied much faster, and some don’t require a second buff, but their finishes tend to be less impressive.

It’s easy to apply but be careful not to apply too much as it can be difficult to remove if too much is applied. Collinite 476s Super Doublecoat Auto Wax delivers stunning results and an extremely respectable price point, you really can’t go wrong. A. This is a really common question and one that’s often incorrectly understood. Car polish and wax are two completely different products which are designed to achieve very different results. A car polish is designed to remove imperfections in the paintwork such as scratches, swirl marks etc and attempt to correct the paintwork. A polish is abrasive meaning that it has cutting properties, the polish will actively cut away a very very thin layer of the car’s protective clearcoat to remove any defects.

For a rapid yet durable gloss finish, spray applied Auto-QD allows even those with the shortest available time to care for their vehicle and adds only minutes to the washing routine. Below is a video that we posted on our YouTube channel that shows us testing the Autoglym HD Wax. As you can see in the video, it’s very easy to apply and buff off and it provided a great finish with impressive water beading too.Occasionally under certain humid application conditions, the applied film may bloom after initial application and buffing. Waxes can come in different forms, and that means they need to be applied in different ways. Natural waxes usually come in paste form, and they take the longest to apply properly. This all depends on what product you use. The one thing that can be agreed upon is that the longevity is based on the amount of solidity in the product. As a result, your hard waxes, that require applying to the panel and then buffing, will last the longest. Waxed correctly, your product should protect your car for up to 3 months.
