At first glance car wax seems merely aesthetic. It makes your car shine, and that's that. Actually, car wax serves more than just aesthetic purposes, so say the techs in our Bob Allen Motor Mall service department. Here's a brief explanation of car wax and its benefits.
Natural or Synthetic?
Car wax is a naturally derived or synthetic product that makes your car shine. It comes from things like palm trees, carnauba plants, coal or silicones. It typically contains additives, such as oils and solvents. Oils and solvents give car wax its spreadable texture. This texture improves your car's exterior and by filling in clearcoat gaps. This gives your car a more pristine, unblemished, uniform shine.
More than Skin Deep
Car wax also protects your car's exterior and clearcoat from pollutants found in rainwater and road spray. Since car wax repels water, water and its pollutants roll of your car. This protection safeguards the integrity of your car's exterior, keeping it youthful and shiny for years to come. Our Bob Allen Motor Mall service department recommends at least three wax jobs annually for best long term results.
