What is the function of car wax?

Waxing is a traditional car paint maintenance. Car wax is mainly composed of natural wax or synthetic wax, which makes the surface smooth by penetrating into the cracks in the paint surface, thus increasing the brightness. Traditional car waxing is based on the above light protection.

1. Waterproof function: Cars are often exposed to open air, and it is inevitable that they will be hit by wind and rain. Car wax can reduce the adhesion of 60%-90% of water droplets on the paint surface of the car body. Car wax can also make the water droplets remaining on the paint surface spread further and be flat, which can reduce the black spots, erosion and damage caused by the focusing effect of water droplets in strong sunlight.

2. High-temperature resistance: The high-temperature resistance of car wax is to effectively reflect the incident light in different directions, prevent the incident light from penetrating the transparent paint surface, lead to aging and discoloration of the primer, and prolong the service life of the paint surface.

3. Anti-ultraviolet effect: In fact, the anti-ultraviolet effect of car wax is parallel to its anti-high temperature effect, but the ultraviolet rays in the sun are more easily refracted to the paint surface. Anti-ultraviolet car wax fully considers the characteristics of ultraviolet light, so that its damage to the car surface is reduced.

4. Anti-static function: There are two main types of static electricity in the car: one is static electricity generated by the friction between chemical fibers such as carpets, seats and clothes and silk fabrics; The second type is caused by the friction between the dust in the air and the paint surface of the car body during driving. No matter what kind of static electricity is generated, it will bring inconvenience and even harm to drivers and passengers. The anti-static function of wax is mainly to block the friction between air and dust and body paint. Waxing can not only effectively prevent the generation of static electricity on the automobile surface, but also greatly reduce the adhesion of charged dust to the automobile surface.

5. Polishing effect: Polishing is one of the most basic functions of car wax. After waxing, the smoothness of the paint surface can be improved to varying degrees, and the car body can be restored to its original bright color.

6. Grinding and polishing function: When there are shallow scratches on the paint surface of the car body, grinding and polishing wax can be used. If the scratches are not serious, polishing and waxing operations can be completed at one time.

7. Other functions: In addition to the above functions, car wax also has the functions of preventing acid rain and salt fog, which can be flexibly controlled according to needs when selecting, and waxing can get twice the result with half the effort.
