If you wax your car yourself, you’re probably familiar with the dangers of using a lot of wax on a car that has been ceramic coated. Waxing can remove the coating, making the car susceptible to rust and other damage. But what if you don’t have access to a waxer? What if you don’t want to risk damaging your car? Fear not; there are other ways to get that protection. Check out these four methods for getting wax on your car without getting it all scratched up.
What is a car coated in ceramic?
Ceramic coatings are becoming more popular due to their anti-corrosive and anti-fouling properties. One of the more common ceramic coatings is Acrylic Ceramic, which is sprayed on to a car’s surface to create an anti-grime and anti-stain barrier. While regular waxing will remove the coating, it is important not to re-coat the car with acrylic ceramic as this can damage the surface.
How is the coating applied?
The car waxing process is broken down into two steps. The first step is the removal of the existing wax. This can be done with a variety of methods, but the most common is using a hot scraper. After the wax is removed, the surface needs to be prepared for the new wax. This can be done by polishing or sanding the surface.
The new wax is then applied and polished until it’s uniform. Some people choose to apply two coats of wax, while others only apply one coat. It’s important to make sure that the wax is applied evenly andpolished until it’s smooth.
Can waxing remove the coating?
Waxing a car that has been ceramic coated can remove the coating, but it is not recommended because it can cause damage to the paint. Using an appropriate wax is the safest way to remove the coating.
What are the risks of not removing the coating?
If you don’t take the time to remove the ceramic coating from your car, you are putting yourself and others at risk. The coating is a tough barrier that protects the underlying paint from scratches and dents. Over time, the coating can become worn and damaged, which will lead to accelerated wear on the paint and eventual paint damage. In addition, if water or other chemicals get trapped beneath the ceramic coating, they can cause corrosion that will further damage your car’s paint. Finally, if you ever have to sell or trade your car, potential buyers may not be interested in buying it if there is still a ceramic coating present. By taking the time to remove the coating properly, you are ensuring that your car lasts longer and looks better while doing so.
Conclusion
Yes, you can wax a car that has been ceramic coated. It will require special WaxCare Wax and a few extra steps, but it is possible to remove the coating and have your vehicle looking like new again. Be sure to read all of the instructions before starting so that you don’t end up doing more damage than good!
