At MINI of Burlington, we like to pass along tips to our customers about things like road safety, driving strategies, and car care. Today's focus is on the latter. Taking care of your car with regular maintenance visits and washes can extend its life and improve performance. One step that is often skipped in the routine is waxing. Let's take a look at what car wax is and why you should use it.
Car was is just as its name implies. It's made mostly of some type of wax with oils or silicone added to make it malleable. You can usually find both natural and synthetic wax products on the market. People like each kind for different reasons. Natural wax tends to add a better shine, while synthetic is more durable to provide more protection.
Both products are useful in protecting your vehicle's surface. Things like the sun's rays, dirt, rainwater, and salt are whisked away by a thin coating of wax. It repels rust and scratches. Try adding wax to your car care routine.
