What is the function of car waxing?

As a traditional project of automobile beauty, car waxing first plays a role in preventing water and acid rain. Due to the protection of car wax, the amount of water droplets attached to the car body will be reduced, and the effect is very obvious, reaching 50% to 90%. Followed by anti-high temperature and anti-ultraviolet. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Cars are easy to age and fade when they are driving or stored outside all the year round, and the film formed by waxing can reflect some light, effectively avoiding the aging of car paint; Thirdly, car wax can prevent static and dust at the same time. When a car is running, friction with air will generate static electricity, and car wax can effectively isolate the friction between the car body and air and dust. Without the electrostatic car, there will naturally be less dust adsorption, and the car wax can also play a role in polishing, making the car look newer and better.

(1) waterproof function

Cars are often exposed to the air, and it is inevitable that they will be hit by wind and rain. When water drops remain on the surface of the car body, when the weather turns fine, every water drop is a convex lens in the strong sunlight. Under the focusing action, the temperature at the focus reaches 800- 1000℃, which leads to black spots on the paint surface, which greatly affects the quality and service life of the paint surface. In addition, water droplets can easily corrode exposed metal surfaces.

(2) High temperature resistance:

The principle of high temperature resistance of car wax is to effectively reflect the incident light from different directions and prevent the incident light from aging and discoloring the paint surface or background paint.

(3) Antistatic function:

There are two main sources of automobile static electricity: one is the friction of fiber fabrics, such as carpets, seats and clothes; On the other hand, it is caused by the friction between the dust in the air and the metal surface of the car body during driving. No matter what kind of static electricity is generated, it will bring a lot of inconvenience to passengers and even cause harm. The anti-static function of car wax is mainly reflected in preventing static electricity from being generated on the car surface, and its principle is to isolate the friction between dust and metal on the car surface. Because the thickness of wax coating and the adhesion ability of car wax itself are different, its antistatic effect is also different. General anti-static car wax is better than ordinary car wax in blocking the friction between dust and paint surface.

(4) Anti-ultraviolet function

In fact, the anti-ultraviolet function of car wax goes hand in hand with its anti-high temperature function, but in the sun, due to the characteristics of ultraviolet light, ultraviolet light is easily refracted to the surface of car paint, and the anti-ultraviolet car wax fully considers the characteristics of ultraviolet light to minimize the damage to the surface of car paint.
