Whether you apply it yourself or you have the techs at our DCH Honda of Temecula service department apply it, car wax is a must. Why? What is car wax? Simply put, it's your car's first line of defense against the elements.
A Seal of Protection
Car wax forms a protective seal over your car's exterior paint job and clearcoat. It fills and smooths gaps in the clearcoat, restoring shine and shielding your car from further superficial damage. The potential damage comes from rainwater and road spray, often filled with corrosive pollutants. Since car wax repels water, rain and road spray simply bead and roll off of your car's exterior, keeping it clear of pollutants.
Ingredients in Car Wax
Car wax is essentially a synthetic or natural wax mixed with solvents and oils to make it malleable. Synthetic and natural sources include:
- Silicones
- Coal
- Palm trees
- Carnauba plants
The experts at our DCH Honda of Temecula service department recommend having your car waxed at least three times annually.
