How to Wax your Car

I talked the other day about why I started waxing my Nissan, how much better it looks now that I do and how I think it will help protect the body from the elements. Today, I want to give you step-by-step instructions on how to wax your Nissan cars.

1. Wash your car and make sure it’s completely dry before you wax.
2. Choose a wax that’s nonabrasive. Abrasive waxes can damage finishes, and can harm dark paint jobs. A nonabrasive wax means you might have to wax more often, but it’s gentler on the car.
3. Wax your car in the shade, if possible. This keeps the wax from baking onto the car.
4. Rub the wax onto your car using small circular motions. Try to keep wax from getting into the seams. If it does, use an old toothbrush to get it out.
5. Apply the car wax one section at a time.
6. Wipe down the wax in the same order that you applied it. As you progress, shake out the cloth to avoid streaking or buildup of wax.
7. When you’re all done, get down close to the surface of the car. Look for residual wax that should be wiped up.
8. Finally, use a cheesecloth to polish the surface of the car.
9. Once you’re done, use only liquid cleansers for your cloths, so that next time you won’t scratch your car when you wax it.
