Abrasive
car waxes
can do
more harm
than good

MANY COMMONLY-used wax
products can actually dull your
new car’s reflective finish. They
use a combination of wax or sili-
cone and a harsh abrasive polish
to remove oxidized paint. These
abrasives can roughen the surface
with thousands of tiny fine scrat-

results in an overall reduction in
shine.

These days, people are waxing
more often to protect their cars
from the almost-impossible-to-
remove, water-spotting effects of
acid rain. Frequent waxing with
polishes containing abrasives
causes necessary removal and
deterioration of paint.

Your new car should not be ex-
posed to these strong paint-remov- ;
ing abrasives. It just needs — _ a Boe

Early car wax products were
abrasive-free. If an abrasive polish
was needed, it was sold separately
and by the coarseness: of the
abrasive used, from strong rubb-
ing compounds to extremely mild
polishes.

The best waxes were made with
imported Carnauba wax. Growing
on a select group of palm trees in
Brazil, the natural wax protects
the tender leaves from the harst:
sun and long rainy periods com-
mon in the rain forests.

As the costs of gathering and .
importing this wax skyrocketed, : + $350 : +8375
chemists created cheaper ‘wax- freight - \ ; : freight

mixed into their new formulations
to aid in removing ‘dead’ paint.

They were billed as the lazy
man’s one-step car polish. Unfor-
tunately, they’ve never been able
to equal the extreme high gloss
