Predating the automobile, it was European coach builders that first applied coatings of animal fats and wax to protect the custom paintwork on their horse drawn carriages. This tradition has endured over 100 years and is still the best way to protect the paintwork on modern-day coaches. Today, the multi-layered finish on your car, from primer through the top (clear) coat, is only .006 to .008 of an inch thick. Regardless of how fine the finish is now, it will deteriorate and dull. Radiant and ultraviolet energy, acid rain, salt, atmospheric pollution insect fluids, and bird droppings wage a constant war on your cars finish. Waxing provides an easily renewable, transparent barrier between the finish and a hostile environment.

    Waxing also makes your car, new or old, look better. Quality waxes now combine enriching oils that "wet" the surface with Brazilian Carnuba Wax modern polymers and/or teflon sealants for a high gloss shine.
