Benefits of Using a Car Wax Cleaner
Using a car wax cleaner is a very simple way to remove residue from car paint prior to waxing. Most brands of car wax cleaner are designed to be used after washing but prior to polishing and waxing. Regular washing will remove the surface dirt and grime, but it takes a car wax cleaner to remove the finish dulling surface contaminants that adhere to the paint surface. Some car wax cleaner products contain carnauba or synthetic wax; however, many experts suggest also applying a layer of polish and wax to further increase gloss and protection.
