Lets study in Detail

Working

Detail work or a waxing protects the paint from the harmful elements.

A good car wax creates some protective film for the paint.

It serves as a barrier between the elements and the color underneath.

Check exterior conditions before waxing the car.

Automobile professionals recommend what is known

as a bead test

What is bead test?Answer:-• Throw some water on

the surface of the car.• If the water beads into

small pockets, then there’s no need to do any waxing.

• Large beads of water do suggest that a wax job would be helpful.

DIY Car Wax• Use a dry cloth.• Apply the wax in a

circular motion in a shaded area away from the sun.

• No need to use a lot of wax; a small amount is just fine.

Detailing• Detailing is considered to be fairly good

restorative work than waxing• Takes care of pounding out dents that

could be deposits of salt, a corrosive material

• A car owner may accidentally create swirl marks• Polish very carefully in order to get rid of any of scratches

Detailing can be a do-it-yourself

project

How often you should wax your car ?

Not more than once in every three months.

In very harsh weather for extended periods,

should be done more frequently

In snow belts, should expect to do one or

two car waxings

during the winter

WHY ?• To protect the paint from

road salt or sand. In addition to any icy rain

Waxing Benefits• Wax and Detail will

extend the life and gloss of the paint job of your car.

• Helps in the resale value of the automobile

• Rust is something that will cause the price to drop

Pay attention to the

body of the car as waxing and detailing will

help you make it through the

winter
