Car wax comes from carnauba plants and palm trees. Oils and solvents are then added to make the wax more malleable. Waxing a vehicle protects the exterior from UV and water damage. The finish may also become damaged from contaminants on roadways.
Protecting cars, SUVs, and pickups with a coat of wax also means that the vehicles do not need washing as frequently. Wax also fills in the gaps created by scratches, which causes an unsightly appearance. Once finished waxing, the vehicle has a water repellent coating that also improves the look of the finish.
After washing and thoroughly drying the vehicle, apply the wax to seal the exterior. For optimal protection, automotive technicians recommend waxing the vehicle two to three times each year.
