Years ago, waxing your car every so often was a common practice. Chances are, you have walked into the garage with your dad hunched over the car with a towel in hand, waxing the car. However, with the rise of technology in touch-less and gas station car washes, waxing seems to have taken a back seat. Most people do not spend that extra time to wax the car. It is commonly said that modern paints are good enough and all that the car needs is a regular wash to keep it looking shiny and new.<\/p>\n
However, this is not the case. As a company offering\u00a0car detailing in Santa Rosa<\/strong>, we would like to advise against\u00a0 By not applying wax to your car, you are exposing the surface of your car to a potential number of issues. This is because the clear protective layer that protects the paint of your car can be broken, exposing the paint to oxidation, road salt, and other ills. Adding a coat of wax adds a layer of protection to your car, reducing expenses for potential repairs.<\/p>\n You can think of waxing as putting on a jacket during the cold or rainy seasons. Exposure to the elements affects your car just as it would affect you if you walked around outside in the snow without much on. Even if you have recently had a\u00a0ceramic coating<\/a>\u00a0installed, a extreme weather conditions or prolonged exposure can break down this protective layer. This leaves your vehicle vulnerable to further damage from UV radiation, road salt, insects and road debris. To avoid having to pay for expensive factory clear coating<\/a>, adding an extra layer of protection with wax will greatly help. Whatever could have damaged the clear coat paint will instead impact the wax which can easily be restored if need be.<\/p>\n Have you ever been driving home when there\u2019s a slight drizzle after a particularly dry period? If you have, you have experienced the annoying film of dirt and grime that accumulates on the surface of your car. Not only is this unsightly but it\u2019s also annoying to wash off. By waxing your car regularly in\u00a0Santa Rosa<\/a>, washing should not be an issue because the wax acts as a protective layer. This means that any water or grime easily rolls off the surface of the car eliminating the need for any harsh chemicals being used or too much force. Either of these will clean your car but will damage your car\u2019s paint job with time.<\/p>\n Before clear coating was adopted, routine car waxing was the norm this was done in order to maintain the new-car shine. If people did not want to do the waxing on their own, all they had to do was take their car to any\u00a0auto detailing in Santa Rosa<\/strong>\u00a0to get the job done. However, as you can imagine, this was quite a tedious, time-consuming process that was even harder if you had to do the waxing on your own. Clearcoat was then brought into the market but even with it, waxing still had to be done \u2013 only less often.<\/p>\n The majority of car owners adhere to scheduled routine maintenance on their car\u2019s engine and transmission, but there is much more to keeping your vehicle in tip-top shape. It is important to think about the aesthetics of your car, especially if you are planning to resell in the future.
