Advantage/Disadvantage of car wax

WAX
Waxing is a car beautifying method by polishing process to remove micro crack found on the paint layer in order to achieve high gloss finishing. There are currently 2 types of car wax in the market : Solid Wax and Liquid Wax.
Solid Wax normally known as polishing wax, and Liquid Wax sometimes is also call glossy cream, where it is only needs to be applied evenly on the paint layer.
Advantage of these 2 wax are cost effective, easy application process where you can do it yourself.
Disadvantages of wax is it can corrode the paint layer, as it is made from petrochemical products. The other disadvantage is it is cannot last too long. Normally you have to apply the wax once a week, and it is easily removed by rain.

How to maintain your car's spray paint

Car Care : Cautions points for taking care of your car's paint

Your love car will definitely collect some ducts or stain over time, normally what we need to do is to wash the car using clean water.However, it will be terrible if some organic substance is sticking to the car body,for example : some trees will generate tree's discharge, and the organic substance from the bird shit will damage the car's paint.

During a extremely hot day, the melting tar on the road may spills onto the car body. If it is not cleared immediately, it may also corrodes the paint coating.

Car owner should keep in mind that they should not wash their car under the hot sun, as this will causes the paint coating to crack; and do not let the car expose to direct strong sun after washing it, instead they should dry it using a clean dry cloth or keep the car under a shaded area. Otherwise, the water drop on the car body will form a concave effect onto the paint coating if it is exposed under directly sunlight, this will create a very high temperature on the paint layer, which may causes it to crack easily.
