How can I protect the clearcoat on my car?
Keep the car out of the automated brush car washes. These brushes strip the wax and dull the finish by “creating” swirl marks. Only use automotive car wash soaps with a soft, clean sponge or washmitt to wash your car. Use clean chamois cloths for drying. And apply Hot Body Wax® with a clean, dry cotton terry cloth towel and remove with a microfiber cleaning cloth. Perform this task once every three to four months to the painted surfaces. This will do two things. (1) Remove any oxidation and/or surface contaminants that may have formed since the last time the vehicle was waxed, and, (2) provide protection from the re-forming of oxidation and surface contaminants for the next three to four months.
