We want you to know how to care for your car in the best ways possible so that you can stay happy. Did you know that wax helps keep your car cleaner for longer? Here are some basics of how wax functions to protect your paint.

Wax refers to a hydrocarbon at room temperature and is commonly made from materials like a plant called carnauba, silicone, palm and even coal. These base ingredients are then mixed with some type of oil solvent that makes the wax soft enough to be applied onto your vehicle's paint job.

You can apply wax with a microfiber towel or electric buffer after you have washed your vehicle and completely dried it off. Visit us at Lexus San Diego for all of your service needs; we'll be happy to answer any questions concerning your vehicle's maintenance.
