We appreciate informed drivers at Autohaus BMW, so we offer you an explanation of car wax today.
Every vehicle on our lot in Saint Louis gleams, but maintaining a car's exterior shine for several years requires regularly applying car wax. Strictly, wax is a solid hydrocarbon at room temperature. Carnauba wax is commonly used in car waxes. Manufacturers source it from a palm tree native to Brazil. Interestingly, carnauba wax is also used in dental floss and candy, so you can confidently apply it to your car's exterior. Some brands blend beeswax into their formulas, too.
To make their products easier to apply, manufacturers add oils and solvents. Additionally, brands pursue specialized niches in the car-wax market. As a result, you can find car waxes sold as pastes or liquids. While liquid car wax enables fast application, paste products offer a deeper shine. We recommend experimenting until you find the car wax that meets your needs.
