Auto Maintenance and Caring For Your Automobile's Clear Coat

Caring for the clear coat on your car is not easy with all the challenges our cars face every day. After all, we are merely one shopping cart away from permanent damage. To properly maintain the clear coat of your car you need to keep a good coat of wax and sealant on it. This may not sound like a big deal, but the way in which you wax your car does matter, as you can damage the clear coat if you do not do it properly.

For instance, if you hire an auto detail who does not know how to use a buffer, or does not use the right type of application pad when putting on the wax, he can actually damage your car's clearcoat rather than helping you protect it. Also if you go to a carwash and the brushes are not clean they can cause tiny scratches in the clearcoat, which can start the clearcoat decaying.

It's best to wash the car with soap and water by hand using a lamb's wool mitt, gently removing the dirt, then carefully chamois off the remaining water. When completing the job it makes sense to inspect to make sure there is no damage to the clear coat of your car, and then applying a coat of wax. There are special clear-coat-waxes made that are also sealant coatings, many of these are specially made for clear-coat cars.

Once you have a strong sealant coat on your car it makes sense to wax it with regular wax many times over again. This will protect your car from scratches and therefore, protect your automobile's clear-coat from harm. Please consider all this.
