How To Wax Your Car
If you have a car that needs a little TLC, then you need to learn how to wax it. Waxing your car is not only a great way to keep it looking clean and shiny, but it can also help preserve the paint job. There are several different ways to wax a car, so choose the one that is easiest for you.
You can use an aerosol wax sprayer or a disposable applicator. To use the aerosol wax sprayer, simply press the nozzle against the surface of the car and hold down the trigger. To use the disposable applicator, place it on a sponge or cloth and spread some wax over it. Then, press it against the surface of the car and hold down the trigger.
How To Buff Your Car
Step one: Prepping your car
Before you start buffing or waxing, it’s important to make sure the surface you’re working on is clean and free of any oils, polish, or dirt. Use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe down the entire car surface.
Next, mix together a buffing solution of water and your desired wax. (We recommend using a lower concentration of wax if you plan on polishing the car later.) Apply the solution to the cloth and work it into the paint with circular motions.
Once the paint is completely wetted down, proceed to buff using medium-high pressure and a back-and-forth motion. Be sure to frequently move around different areas of the car so that you remove all of the wax buildup.
Step two: Polishing steps
After your car has been Buffed And Waxed, it’s time for Polishing! Here are four simple steps:
1) Clean your applicator head with distilled water and a microfiber cloth before each use. 2) Apply polish to applicator head in circular motions. 3) Buff until polish is shining; be sure to apply pressure while buffing. 4) Finish off
