Why Should I wax or use sealant on my car?

bryan — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:05:35 +0000

Waxes and sealant contain UV blockers in their formulations. This helps reduce the amount on UV light from hitting the paints causing fading or oxidation of the paint. If you want to make you paint look newer, longer; use a wax or sealant every 3 months or so, depending on wash practices. Touchless washes and drive through washes will strip almost all the wax so it is best to give it so TLC with so automotive shampoo instead. Dish soap is not for automotive use and should be used on your greasy dishes and not your dirty car.

Keeping Your Wheels Looking Clean Longer

Many people wax or seal their car but neglect to protect their wheels. It is a good idea to wax or use sealant on your wheels to help keep them looking better,longer. A layer of wax will also help during the wash process as the oils and dirt from the brake system are sitting on a layer of sealant or wax rather than in the rim itself. Give your rims a little extra love and it may save you some time in the future when washing your car.

Most people find it hard to tell just how bad their paint really is ontheir vehicle.

At Concours Touch we don’t charge for appraising a polishinig job and are always willing to help out the DIY’ers with undertaking the taunting task of polishing the paint to perfection.

Can I use Dish Soap to Wash my Car

bryan — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:02:24 +0000

the simple answer is no. Washing with dishsoap that does not have Ph neutral properties will strip any wax that was applied to the car as well as prematurely wear exterior trim pieces. Dishsoap also tends to leave a spotty vehicle. Pick up some Meguiars Gold Class at your nearest Canadian tire and help preserve the finish on your car for years to come.
