Why Waxing Is Not Enough

There are many car owners who rely on the protection that a plain car wax can offer. They are satisfied with the protection that their car can get from thorough waxing after they have brought their car in to an auto service center. However, other car owners feel that a simple scratch may affect the entire value of their car and want better protection. Those car owners are on the right track. Simple waxing is not enough. We are going to look at a few reasons why waxing will not give the protection you want and offer you, the reader, another alternative.

First, durability is an issue. Even the best car polish available does not last on the car’s surface for a long period. One proof that a car wax is the best is if it can be long-lasting and provides durability to the car’s surface. But most of the car wax products offered nowadays are not able to provide this feature, which makes these products unreliable for complete protection for the car’s surface.

High gloss is not easily achieved. Any car owner would want their car to always shine. But with car waxes, you must buff the wax completely to get a good shine. The fact that too much time can be consumed with just buffing, any car owner would say that it is not always about the quality of the wax after all.

There are car cleaning products that include car waxes that say they cover scratches. It may be effective on obvious scratches but with small scratches that you may not easily notice, the car wax may miss these spots and ruin the look of your car. But using a wax will not stop the scratches that are there from eventually working their way to rusting.

Cleaning can actually get more difficult with regular car wax. After the wax is applied and the car is used for a few days, there are cases when dirt gets stuck and makes the cleaning really difficult. Now, this is really a big disadvantage for car owners who do not have enough time for cleaning.

So, what's the better alternative? In short, a ceramic coating adds additional protection to your car’s exterior and helps keep it looking like-new with comparatively minimal maintenance. The coating achieves this result by making your vehicle more resilient and easier to clean. It also brings a mirror-like shine and has some scratch-resistance.

A ceramic coating will definitely help your vehicle hold resale value. At Classy Chassis, we are proud to be the leading ceramic coating applicators for Ashland, Ohio, and the surrounding area. If you would like to learn more or schedule an appointment, call us at (419) 281-6680.

Electronic Corrosion Protection?

Car owners living in wintry climates like Ohio are constantly worried about cleaning road salt off their vehicles at the end of the day, to prevent rust from occurring. There are several ways to prevent corrosion. There is undercoating, spraying a tar-based substance on the exposed parts of a vehicle's underbody. There is dripless oil spray, a wax-like substance applied to the entire body of the vehicle, it hardens once it has dried. There is drip oil spray, and that is the most commonly recommended rust protection. But there is one new, greener method of corrosion protection , electronic corrosion protection (ECP). Electronic Corrosion Module protects the entire vehicle ECP emits a low power, pulse-wave, radio-frequency signal across all sheet metal surfaces of the vehicle. It protects against rust perforation that starts from the inside-out or the outside-in, even if it's caused by stone chips or scratches. The module's electromagnetic pulse-wave is effectiv...

Tonneau Cover? What's That?

A tri-fold tonneau truck cover Tonneau covers are hard truck bed covers that protect your truck and the items you carry in it. But why should you have one? Truthfully, the answer is found in simple science and economics. Trucks are not very aerodynamic, so wind is sucked down into the bed when driving, which causes drag. Installing a truck bed cover eliminates the drag and can result in better gas mileage. In some cases, the cover may pay for itself in as little as a year with the money you'll save on fuel! Some other benefits are keeping your cargo secure. First, the cover will keep things from being blown out onto the road and preventing accidents or accidental littering. They also keep undesirable debris, snow, and rain out of your truck bed and off of your cargo. While no truck bed cover is completely waterproof, they are highly effective at protecting your cargo from the elements. Tonneau covers also keep your cargo a complete mystery. Some even come with locking mec...
