Protect Paint with Wax
You
car had a new clear coat when it left the factory, but that coat wears
off over time and leaves the paint to fend for itself against the
elements. That's where wax comes in. Wax is sacrificial and will wear
off over the course of a few months, but in that time it will absorb
stains and small scratches before those hazards make it to the paint.
We're told older folks prefer paste wax, while younger ones like
liquids. The choice is simply personal preference—both products do the
job equally well. Finally, the pro detailers usually use two coats of
wax; the purpose of the second coat is to cover areas that the first
might have missed. Just don't waste your time trying to apply additional
coats for added protection. They don't adhere and will be wiped off
with buffing.
