The difference between polymer and wax car washes and how to use them

The difference between polymer and wax car washes and how to use them

2011.11.26

For someone who drives a car every day, my knowledge is at a beginner’s level, but I was at a gas station today. I’ll make a note of what the gas station guy told me when I used a certain automatic car wash.

The difference between a polymer wash and a wax wash.

The difference between a polymer wash and a wax wash is, roughly speaking, as follows.

Polymer Car Wash
It creates a thin film of paint on the car’s surface and protects the car.
Wax car wash.
To put it crudely, it’s like greasing a car.

Just to add to the discussion, to avoid any misunderstandings, I’m not trying to say that wax washing is a bad idea. I’m just trying to explain the difference between the attributes of polymer and wax here.

Do not use polymer and wax washes together.

As mentioned above, polymer and wax washes have different attributes.It’s best not to use them together. That’s right.

For example, if you wash your car with a polymer and then wax it a few months later, the effect of the polymer will be lost. They will cancel out the So, once you decide on either method of washing your car, it’s better to use the same method on an ongoing basis.

When to do a polymer wash.

They say it’s a good time to feel your car’s water drainage is getting worse. (The guy at the gas station said it should last a couple of months, but I’m not sure it will last that long…) (I do care).

They say that while the polymer wash is working, only the cheapest water from the automatic car wash is clean enough for the car to wash. is.

Finally.

Which is better, polymers or wax? Personally, I think the polymer is a better choice. The fact that you can wash your car with water a few times after the polymer is a GOOD thing. It’s not a ridiculous amount of money to wash the car.
