Were happy to explain car wax today at Jaguar Huntsville. When regularly applied, wax can help your new vehicle retain its shine long after you drive it off our Huntsville lot.
Most automotive waxes feature carnauba, which is harvested from a type of palm tree found in Brazil. Carnauba is hard and flaky, so manufacturers blend other substances with it to make the wax easier to spread across your vehicles exterior surface. The specific blend varies by brand, but common additives include beeswax, linseed oil, blended oils, moisturizers and compounds distilled from petroleum.
While some of the above ingredients make your cars finish shimmer, others prolong its cleanliness due to their hydrophobic properties. Such materials cause moisture to quickly run off a vehicles exterior. When water molecules skate across a waxed surface, they carry dirt and grime with them. As a result, wax prolongs your autos clean appearance between car washes.
