I'm prepping a car for long term storage.
Under a car port but exposed to the elements and pests from the order "rodentia". Going to get a healthy dose of mothballs. . Cleaned and waxed before it goes. Should I buff it or leave it as is? Right now "Wax on- Heavy" |

Yes, remove the hazed wax by hand with the world's softest multi-used cloth diaper...
I can make it look GREAT. I'm thinking of leaving the excessive wax on the car now as the thickness of the wax is probably 10 times thicker than it will be buffed. The ONLY thing I'm after with this job is protection without damage. Water beads the same. It just doesn't slide off. Car will be protected from direct rainfall. Car may be subject to what I call hanger rash and I'd like to be the most protected it can be without increasing expense. Why do you think hand buffing is the answer? Part of me agrees. Part of me doesn't. Hence my post... |
