Prepping Your Vehicle:
Starting out with a clean surface is critical, because the wax can't adhere to dirt and will not last as long. Give your vehicle a good wash just using soap and water. Also, make sure the weather is going to cooperate; the best time is when the temperature is between 55 degrees and 85 degrees. Finally, choose a location that is out of direct sunlight -- often the most convenient is inside your garage.
Waxing Your Car:
Only a silver dollar-sized amount of wax is required per 2-foot by 2-foot section of car surface. Apply the wax directly to the foam applicator or damp sponge, and use gentle, overlapping circular motions. Keep sections small, and don't try to stretch the wax too thin. Apply the wax, and then use a high-speed buffer to apply more and remove imperfections. Wait several minutes after buffing, following manufacturer standards, before using a microfiber cloth to remove the wax.
Making Your Wax Last:
Waxing the car twice will result in maximum shine. To keep that shine lasting, continue to wash your vehicle regularly. At Steve Landers, we recommend waxing your vehicle every three to six months.
However, if your vehicle needs a little more than a simple wax, maybe it's time to stop by Steve Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Little Rock and upgrade your ride.
