Have you wondered if it's necessary to wax your car? Do you even know what's in car wax? Many drivers think waxing their cars simply adds a little extra shine. They don't think the extra effort is worth it. Here at Lewis Motor Sales Inc, we think these folks may want to reconsider.

That's because wax can actually help preserve your car's body. It provides a hard and slick coating to your vehicle that can repel things like stones, dirt, and road salt that can damage the clear coat. Scratches, dings, and chips in the pain can lead to rust. A nice coat of wax also adds shine that not only looks nice but works to deflect the sun's damaging rays, keeping your car from fading.

You can choose from various types of wax products. They may contain natural waxes or synthetic alternatives. Both provide useful protection. They also typically include oils or solvents to make application easier.
