This step consists of applying protection to the bodywork. The wax applied forms a protective "barrier" against all external aggressions and brings shine to the paint.
There are different types of protection: synthetic waxes (based on acrylic or polymers) and natural waxes (based on Carnauba). These waxes have different characteristics.
Synthetic waxes have a longer average lifespan than natural waxes, which offer a higher level of shine.
“Hybrid” waxes based on polymer AND carnauba provide long-lasting protection and shine. The use of “nano-technology” provides the best possible protection (very long duration). These nano-polymers create a very resistant and durable structure and thus, offer "long-lasting" protection to the treated surfaces.
Ceramic wax remains the best wax to protect your vehicle for about 2 years
Why is it necessary to protect a bodywork?
By protecting your vehicle, you get many benefits:
Limitation of dirt adhesion
Limitation of the harmful efiects of atmospheric attacks
Protection from UV rays (from fading)
Ease of future washes
Increase in shine
The protection applied on the surface is very smooth. The adhesion of dirt is considerably reduced. Thus, when washing, contaminants will be very easy to remove. The washing time is then reduced.
Good protection also protects against UV rays, which are very harmful to the color of the paint. Limits discoloration.
Protection brings shine. The application of a wax “adds” a thin layer favoring the reflection of light. Depending on the composition, the shine is more or less important, the "mirror" effects also vary.
What would be an ideal wax?
A wax that would offer:
Protection extremely resistant to all atmospheric aggressions.
A term of protection of several years.
Maximum shine and reflections
An easy application
Carsprowash products for stage 6:
Carsprowash liquid or pure carnauba wax, Carsprowash ceramic wax
Carsprowash Ultimate Polisher is considered an “All In One” product, non-abrasive. It offers in one application: “non-abrasive” polishing, buffing and bodywork protection. Eliminates insect residues and other traces (of water, gum, etc.). Its advanced composition corrects light micro-scratches and nourishes the paint to revive the color.
Rich in NANO-polymers*, it deposits a long-lasting, hydrophobic protective film that is highly resistant to contaminants, salt, UV rays and discoloration. Enhances the luster and shine of the paint. Applicable on all types of paint. Also protects alloy rims, chrome, headlight lenses, bumpers and exterior plastics. Application by hand or machine.
*Carsprowash Ultimate Shine contains a protective wax based on polymers, more specifically based on NANO-polymers to provide RESISTANT and DURABLE protection!
Special features of Carsprowash Ultimate Shine:
"NON-abrasive"
Incorporates polishing oils
Contains NANO-polymers to provide tough, long-lasting protection
Carsprowash Ultimate Polisher is considered an "All In One" abrasive product. It offers in one application: "abrasive" polishing, buffing and bodywork protection. Removes contaminants such as tar, pine resin, traces of water, ... Its abrasive agents eliminate bodywork defects such as micro-scratches, nail marks, traces left by residues of insects and oxidation. Its composition revives the color and deposits a hydrophobic protection.
Contains NANO-polymers to protect paint from weather, salt, UV rays, fading and leaves a soft, shiny finish. Easy to apply and remove.
Carnauba Wax Carsprowash is more “step 4 – correction of defects” oriented, while depositing a protective wax
“nano-technology”.
Special features of Carsprowash carnauba wax :
"abrasive" for in-depth defect correction
Incorporates polishing oils
