Remember ‘Wax on, wax off’ from “The Karate Kid” movie? Daniel-san? Mr. Miyagi? No? Waxing and buffing your car can save you a bunch of money over time and prolong your paint job. Here are a few tips to make sure you wax your car properly.
- Apply car wax or paint sealant in the shade, so the product doesn’t dry too quickly.
- Always apply car wax or paint sealant to a dry vehicle. Water drops can cause streaking.
- Apply the thinnest coat you can! A thick coat makes the wax or sealant difficult to remove or cause streaks. Polyfoam wax applicators are best to use for thin coats.
- Buff the haze away with a lint-free or microfiber towel.
- Check the label to see how long to wait before adding another coat of wax. Usually, it’s 12-18 hours.
