We can’t really help the kind of weather you’ll have in the place you live. Whether you have four seasons or two extreme weathers, all you can do is take extra step to protect your car from these. Paint protection in Singapore’s tropical weather will prevent your paint job from fading fast, it also keeps it from expanding and contracting which results to cracking where water or moist can seep through the cracks and create rust. When it comes to paint protection, there are different ways to do that. There’s car waxing, car sealant, as well as paint protection coating.
1. Positive Prep
To get the smooth paint job finish that we all want on our vehicles, it’s not only the waxing and polishing that matters, preparing the exterior of your car is important too. Wash the exterior of your car using the bucket of soap and water. This will keep any dust and dirt from causing any abrasion on your car’s paint or get in the way of a smooth paint job finish. Don’t forget to wipe it dry. After that, sanding the area is an important step you can’t skip out because it smoothens the area you want to work on which allows a consistent look when you apply the new paint. To further break down the area you want to work on and prepare it for new paint, use a scuffing pad. Scuffing pads create a rough surface, which is easier for the paint to stick to. Rub the scuff pad along the surface back and forth until the surface feels rough to the touch. Mask up areas where you don’t want the paint to get onto like the headlights. You can do this by using the masking tape and newspaper or plastic sheet.
2. Thin Film Of Wax
When it comes to waxing your car, less is definitely more! If you haven’t waxed your car before, it may be best to let a professional do it because it takes control and skill to apply the thinnest layer of wax to make sure that it cures evenly. Piling on too much wax on one go can make the wax less effective. Use the tiniest amount and keep burnishing it until it’s barely visible.
3. Add Some Coats
Once the first thin layer of wax has dried and cured, buff it and repeat the process. The best way to be the best result when waxing a vehicle is to build up the application than applying it all on one go.
4. Towels Are Important
You probably already know that microfiber towels are the only towels that you should use when working on your car. That said, you should still make sure that the microfiber towel that you’re using are the clean and right washed ones. Don’t use a dirty towel even if it’s microfiber.
5. Removing The Wax
Buffing can be made more difficult by over-application of wax, allowing it to dry too long or other accidental issues. If you do happen to run into problems with the wax being too dry and hard to remove, you can always mist a quick wet wax over the top or add just a touch of wax over the top to soften it all back up and get the wax ready for removal.
