一旦您的汽车离开陈列室地板，其外部饰面就会暴露于各种有害物质和情况下。酸雨，鸟滴，灰尘和沙子，甚至阳光也会导致您的油漆工作磨损，并看起来褪色和沉闷。它可以在短短几年内使一辆新车看起来古老而疲倦。

蜡ing your car is a regular maintenance step that doesn’t just keep it looking pretty -- it is a necessary procedure that extends the life of your vehicle. Waxing prevents paint peeling and corrosion on your car’s exterior that can cause it to be taken off the road years earlier than it would with proper care. It enhances the appearance of your car, which makes you feel proud as a car owner. It also looks better to anyone who is interested in your vehicle when it comes time to sell it, thus giving your car a higher resale value.

打蜡的汽车的过程就像将防晒霜涂在皮肤上的过程一样。它可以保护外部免受可能导致油漆褪色或变色的有害元素。它还形成了防御性障碍物 - 第一道防线 - 针对腐蚀性鸟滴和路盐，使您有时间在涂料造成持久伤害之前将其清除。它作为一种预防生锈方法也非常有效，因为水珠从表面上珠而不是坐在车身面板上。

第4部分：选择蜡

需要的材料

• 桶
• Car wash soap or mild dish detergent
• Clean cloths
• micr
• Power polisher - optional
• Road tar and grime remover
• 海绵
• 温水
• 蜡

市场上有几种汽车蜡。主要区别是该产品是合成的还是自然的。天然汽车蜡通常含有氨基蜡蜡，而合成汽车蜡可以包含任何数量的成分或化学物质，包括聚合物。

There are paste varieties and liquid varieties available for each. Paste waxes are more labor-intensive to apply yet tend to last longer. Liquid waxes are easy to apply to your paint but tend to wear off sooner than the pastes.

步骤2：选择一块布。另一个重要的考虑因素是蜡完全干燥后用于擦拭汽车的布料类型。

• Tip: While any clean cloth will do the trick, microfiber cloths produce the best results. Microfiber is extremely gentle on your car’s painted finish, yet is quite capable of removing wax residue fully. They are washable and reusable, and are an excellent investment for many car-cleaning uses.

第4部分的第4部分：准备完成

在将蜡涂在汽车的油漆上之前，完全清洁油漆表面非常重要。将您的汽车穿过自动洗车，将有助于清除外部的大部分污垢和污垢，但是在打蜡之前，最好的洗手液是最好的。

Step 1: Wash your car。用干净的温水完全弄湿了汽车的外观。

使用一桶温水，洗车或洗碗皂，再加上干净的布或海绵，轻轻洗净外部以清除所有污垢和灰尘。

Rinse the exterior of your vehicle until all the soap is removed. Dry your car with a clean microfiber cloth or chamois.

步骤2：检查涂漆的表面是否有任何卡在。Check carefully for tree sap, road tar, or bird droppings.

使用您的道路焦油和污垢去除剂，以斑点区域清洁该区域。

用清洁剂浸泡干净的布的角落，然后用手指的尖端擦拭受影响的区域。如果有很多斑点需要使用除路焦油的使用剂，则可能有必要重新洗车。

步骤3：抛光刮擦您要删除。

如果您想删除的油漆中有任何小划痕，那么现在是时候了。如果您打算在打印刮擦之前打蜡您的汽车，您将需要重新刷新以后抛光的位置以保护它。为了使整个汽车的饰面看起来相同，您可能需要再次抛光整个汽车。

If youpolish任何斑点，在打蜡之前再次洗车。

第4部分，共4：涂上蜡

步骤1：用手将蜡擦在油漆上均匀。如果您使用的是糊状蜡，请将容器中的一些蜡涂在干净的布上，然后将蜡擦在油漆上。

如果您使用液体蜡，则可以将蜡涂在布上，并以与糊蜡相同的方式将其擦在油漆上，也可以将蜡直接涂在汽车上。用布擦拭四处以达到完整的覆盖范围。

步骤2：使用电力抛光剂施加蜡（可选）。使用液体蜡，可以使用电力抛光剂涂上蜡。这是一种专业的方法，如果完成不正确，则可能会永久损坏油漆，因此仔细操作至关重要。

在电力抛光剂上使用海绵状蜡垫，将液体蜡涂在彩绘面板上。将电动抛光剂换成慢速，然后使用海绵涂抹垫将液体蜡铺在整个面板上。用两只手握住电动抛光剂，以稳定控制。

当您散布液体蜡时，请保持海绵垫的转动，并握住抛光剂，以便海绵上的扁平点与涂漆的表面完全接触。

• Note：不要施加压力，因为您没有试图“切入”油漆或透明的外套。

步骤3：抛光蜡。Apply wax onto your paint surface evenly in a circular motion. Once you have applied the wax to the car, use your clean cloth or power polisher to buff the wax in circular motions.Take your time to ensure complete, even coverage over the whole surface.

• Tip: Be careful not to get wax on textured plastic parts. It is difficult to remove and can cause a permanent hazy stain.

Step 4: Allow the wax to dry completely。大多数糊状蜡在大约30秒内完全干燥，大多数液体蜡在一分钟内，取决于蜡的施加方式。

第4部分，共4部分：去除蜡残基

When the wax dries, it leaves a hazy appearance on the paint. When touched, it crumbles or wipes off in a powdery form. If the wax is still wet or pasty to the touch, wait a little longer to remove it.

Step 1: Use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the wax residue off the paint。Just like when you were applying the wax, use a circular motion to achieve the best streak-free results.

Step 2: Use a power polisher to remove the wax residue from the paint (optional)。If you have a power tool to wax your car, you can use a clean waxing cloth on the head to remove the wax film from the paint. On slow to medium speed, move the power tool in circular motions over the painted surface until all the wax residue is removed.

• Tip：当使用电动抛光剂给汽车打蜡时，请非常小心刮水器叶片和手臂等物体。抛光机可以捕获暴露的零件，并损坏您的汽车和抛光剂。

步骤3：从玻璃或塑料表面上取出任何蜡。使用干净的肥皂水和一块干净的布擦拭尽快蜡的玻璃或塑料表面。

步骤4：评估汽车的外观。Determine if you have achieved a consistent shine over the whole vehicle, or if there are unsightly dull spots or areas you missed.

如果油漆特别褪色或损坏，可能有必要涂第二层。如果是这样，请再次遵循该程序，第二次用蜡涂上蜡。

If you are satisfied with its shine and appearance, your job is complete.

蜡reapplication should be done at least once per year, though the recommended interval for waxing your car is twice per year. Many products offer protection for up to a year, but it can be as little as a couple of weeks before the finish starts to wear off due to environmental effects like parking in direct sunlight, exposure to weather elements from being parked outside, and climate. If your car is exposed to these factors regularly, you may need to wax your car more often.
