UNIT NO. 2 OSHAWA 72876J Although it's relatively easy to provide your car with a reliable, protective wax overcoat, there are some misconceptions that many car owners have when it cornes to taking care of their vehicles. In an effort to set the re- cord straight, a list of five of the most common myths generally attributed to ex- terior car care has been provided by Borden, mak- er of the Ramn Dance@ car waxes and protectants. Take a moment to check your own perceptions against the list below, and then read through the cor- responding proper car-care procedures. Knowing the correct steps in good car maintenance should help you develop the. proper treatment for your car's finish at the lowest possi- ble cost:, Myths 1. Applying two or three coats of wax increases the durability and protection of the wax job. 2. Paste wax gives a better shine and provides longer-lasting protection than liquid waxes. 3. ,Polymer-type prod- ucts last longer than a good quality wax. 4. If a car exterior be- gins to corrode, it hasn't been waxed often enough. 5. The best way to tel that a car needs waxing is when the finish looks dul. Proper Procedures 1. By applying a second and third layer of wax, you are removing the wax just applied. The increased buffing it takes to apply ex- tra coats may help improve the overaîl appearance but won't provide more dura- bility. The key to durability is the use of a premnium brand'car wax such as Rain Dance. Applying one coat also helps you get the most out of your car wax invest- ment. 2. Today's waxes are formulated to provide a du- rable shine in either paste or liquid mediums. The product you choose is to- tally dependent on person- al preference since both work equally well. 3. Tests conducted by a leading consumer product development organization have shown that a good quality wax lasts as long - if not longer - than even dealer-applied poly products costing $100 or more. 4. Periodic applications of wax help a car maintain its showroom appearance and help retard corrosion. However, car bodies fre- quently deteriorate from underneath the vehicie where good looks are unimportant. Washîng down the underside of your car helps remnove dirt and grit. During the winter it is particularly important to wash sait from underneath your car. 5. The best indication that a car needs to be waxed is a simple water beading test. During a rainfaîl. look at the water on the hood of the car. If the water completely wets the hood in a continuous sheet, or leaves large pud- dles. it means the wax has worn off. If, however, small distinct water beads stand up on the surface, there is still a good layer of wax on your car.
