Car wax is a greasy substance used to polish the surface of car. Car wax may be further categorized into various types depending upon the chemicals that have been used in them and are usually used after a car is cleaned of all its dirt etc. A car wax chemical may or may not be applied to the plastic, metallic and leather surfaces depending upon the make of the car wax and it is always better to confirm the applicability of car wax to specific surfaces before its use. It is not that only small or cheaper old cars use car wax and once can easily see the most expensive ones and the in vogue cars like Jaguar, Mercedes and other celebrated models being waxed soon after they are rolled out of showrooms. It is basically because of the fact that car wax is so safe that people entrust them with such expensive and well maintained cars.
A surface in cars has to be freed from unwanted oxidation of metals, swirls, scratches, water deposits and other similar imperfections and hence a car wax is desired to be applied. Where a clay bar when used on a vehicle, removes only contamination, polishes remove surface imperfections. Polishing using a car wax is a time taking yet a very enjoyable activity for vehicle owners who can not bear with even the lightest of surface imperfection.
Car wax and polish were considered to be different earlier.While car wax takes care primarily of the oxidation of metallic parts, polish is a cleaning compound that removes impurities from the paint which prepares it for waxing, sealing, or protecting. However, this difference is vanishing with the arrival of new hybrid products that help achieving both the aims with just one chemical applied to a vehicle.
Waxing increases the gloss and depth apart from the shine of a painted surface and ultimately this results in providing more protection. Wax comes in many forms such as cream, paste, and liquid. The most common and celebrated type contain carnauba which is a chemical containing high amounts of fatty acids. It is this fatty acid in the chemical carnuba that creates a shield between the paint over the metallic surface and the material that tends to form over it modicum layer hence the surface is protected along with a beautiful luster. Artificial waxes mix low amounts of cleaners with high amounts of UV inhibitors to create protective layer that inhibits the hazardous action of sunlight over the vehicle surface. Synthetic wax creates a high gloss while carnauba waxes give a warm and wet looking finish.
New researches are being made everyday by dedicated scientist in labs all over the world to develop new and better chemicals for it. The ultimate objective of all these efforts is to develop an all encompassing product which give better protection and shiny looks to a vehicle and soon such car wax will be overshadowing the other products in the field.
