[Cold Rain and Wind Operation] Volvo XC60 Waxing Notes

September 25, 2024

It has been almost four years since my XC60 was picked up in May 2016. At that time, I picked up the car and made a free all-car sealing glaze at a 4S shop. The effect was very average. Later, I made a crystal plating at a car beauty shop. It has been almost three years now, and the smoothness of the car paint surface is already very poor. In the afternoon, when I was tidying up the trunk, I saw a can of 3M Magic Crystal Wax from a friend. I saw that the shelf life had not passed yet. I looked at the sky and the sun was shining. I did DIY and wax it myself.

This is the crystal wax given by a friend. It has been pressing it in the car for more than a year.

The role of waxing is first of all to prevent water and acid rain. Due to the protection of car wax, the amount of water droplets attached to the car body will be reduced. The effect is very obvious, reaching 50% to 90%. Secondly, it is to prevent high temperatures and ultraviolet rays. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. When cars are driven or stored outside all year round, the car paint can easily age and fade due to light. The film formed by waxing can reflect part of the light, effectively preventing car paint from aging; thirdly, car wax can prevent static electricity and of course also prevent dust.
