My automobile has a clear coat finish…does it still require waxing?
Absolutely, clear coat finishes need to be waxed, not only for the protective qualities and added shine, but also for the “mar resistant” benefits. The biggest problem with clear coat finishes today is mar resistance. These new finishes resist weathering better than ever, however, abrasive soil, sand, dirt, road debris, and other sources of abrasion, can leave a clear top coat looking pretty dull in a short time. Waxing leaves a lubricious film which helps prevent these minor abrasions from occurring. Wax 3-4 times a year for maximum protection.
Hello. In my opinion yes. But all it depends on finishing. I recommend to search information in internet. By the way did you know about ceramic coating? Such coating protects the exterior of a vehicle and provides a lot of benefits. If you are interested, here on https://ceramiccoatingreviews.com/ you can find a lot of articles about this.
