If driving around in a great looking, shiny, show room ready car is important to you. Knowing what the best way to wax your car is important for getting the shine your looking for without damaging the paint work.
Before you start: here’s what you need
- An hour or two set aside for waxing.
- A cool, dry, covered working area.
- Readily-available water and a hose.
- A wash bucket filled with automotive soap (dish soap works well, too).
- One to two clean, soft sponges.
- Two soft applicator pads about the size of your hand.
- A pair of disposable, chemical-resistant gloves.
- Drying towel(s) and/or a chamois.
- Rags/shop towels.
- Two to four microfiber towels, depending on the size of your vehicle.
- Paint remover.
- One bottle automotive car wax (either a liquid wax, spray wax, or paste wax).
Optional materials include glass cleaner and/or tire and wheel cleaner. You can use both of these items to aid in finishing the overall clean look of your vehicle. However, they’re not required for waxing your car.
