4. Usage and Maintenance
Waxing
Regular waxing helps protect car body’s paint and
keep the body bright and clean. In order to protect
body paint surface, it is suggested to apply high
quality hard wax every year to protect the paint
surface from being corroded due to poor
environment and withstand light mechanical
scratch.
The waxing operation must be executed after the
surface of the whole car is wiped dry. High quality
paint protective wax shall be used. In general,
there are two types of products:
•
Body wax: A wax coats the finish and
protects it from the damage by exposure to
sunlight, air pollution, and other poor external
environment. It always applies to new
vehicles.
•
Polishing wax: Polishing wax can restore the
luster of oxidized paint or the paint without
gloss. It is mainly used to restore the luster to
paint.
Caution
Do not polish your car in a dusty
environment.
