Best Car Wax for Red Cars
Red much like black is a magnet for swirl marks and scratches, the deeper the red the more it magnifies scratches, this is the most common headaches for it’s owners. You’ll have two choices, you can take off the scratches by polishing it or hide it using wax.
The problem with the first option is that if you do it too often, you’ll risk burning of the clear, the second option is much better in our opinion and less time consuming.
In our research for the best car waxes for red cars, I found that the very best products does a good job in filling the gaps on the paint where the scratches are. To help you understand this better look at the illustration below.
Wax layer on top hides the imperfections on the paint, and the more layers you add the less visible scratches are. Take note that some of the products listed below aren’t designed to be layered (don’t worry I’ve labeled which ones can be and can’t be layered).
We have taken a close look at different waxes in the market that will make this color pop at the same time protect the damaging UV-Rays that can dull the color and oxidize the surface.
Enough talk, here are the surprising results.
