Washing and waxing your car regularly will help keep it looking new and fresh. Your goal should be to try and wash your car at least once per month and apply car polish once every three to four months. Washing your car will prevent build up of everything that you dont want- bugs, salt build up, etc. Car polish or wax makes your car look shiny and protects it from fading.
I like to add washing the car to my weekly routine. I tend to save change in one of the compartments of my car and use the change I accumulate at the self-serve car wash. Most of the time, I like to wash the car once per week and wax it on Valentines Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. It keeps my car looking fresh and clean and helps prevent corrosion.
Waxing a car is a relatively simple process. Car polish or wax is actually just a thin, transparent layer over the paint. The car polish protects the paint job from the elements and masks minor flaws such as scratches. Additionally, car polish seals the paint like an invisible barrier. Begin waxing only after your have thoroughly washed and dried your car.
Dry the car off, then apply the car polish one small section at a time to the exterior. I would suggest testing your car polish on a small, non-visible section to make sure that it wont have adverse effects on the finish. I like to start at the top of the car and work down because there is a better chance of dirt being left on the bottom of the car. If you make that your last section, you wont rub dirt all over the entire car-it will be concentrated to that one area.
When you have finished applying, buff the car to a shine using a clean, soft cloth. I like to buy a towel specifically for this process, but anything you have on hand that is clean and soft will work just fine.
So there you have it-the easiest way to keep your car looking as good as the day you brought it home. This process doesnt take long, and can actually be fun if you do it with a friend! Try this Car wash supplies
