However, one of the more popular types of car waxes that you can use on your car are waxes that are made from pure carnauba. Carnauba waxes are believed by many to be a great choice for your car s wax since this type of wax can help you achieve that new and smooth showroom shine on your car if applied properly. You can even start using a few types of brushes to begin with and see which ones are most effective in cleaning your undercarriage. When using a degreaser to remove any oil residue from your undercarriage, let it sit for a while to enable the solution to soak into the surface. After 3 or 5 minutes, spray with water onto the surface to reduce any stubborn dirt or grime. The finish also generally lasts longer compared to liquid wax. The liquid wax is preferred more by individual users and auto detailers however. The liquid wax applies very quickly. You can use a soft sponge applicator. Wait for everything to dry to a light hazy appearance, then wipe off the other residue using a microfiber towel. You can use a car wash shampoo to throughly clean it combined with a powerful scrubbing action from an old toothbrush or other soft detailing brush. Avoid using stiff bristle brush if you do not want to catch scratches or damage on the black trim. You can also apply a protectant on a regular basis, such as 6 to 8 times in a year.
