This is a question coming up more and more especially since January of 2005 when the
United States
and other governments announced a mandatory reduction in the use of volatile organic
compounds
or VOCs in manufacturing processes and consumable products.

As of this writing in January of 2006, car care products may not consist of more
than 15% VOC.
This is major bad news for companies specializing in Carnauba wax which must use
large amounts
of solvents to make the naturally rock hard Carnauba soft and pliable so that it can
be used.

Many companies had to drop entire lines of car wax products; some had to re-engineer
their products.
There are some others who are ignoring the regulations until sanctions are imposed
against them.
There is a revolution taking place in the car wax industry and it's about time!

Most of us grew up using Turtle Wax or some form of Carnauba Wax on our cars and I
am no
different. But, once I found out about the superiority of polymer based products
like the PTFE
based product from CarCareWizards.com I quickly became a big fan.

Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy cleaning and shining my car but when I can use a
product
that will last for 150 washes instead of 15 or 20, I have to go with the 150!
More on this in a minute, first let's just cover some basics on how to apply car waxes
and paint sealants.

These tips should be followed regardless of whether you are using car wax or a paint
sealant:

First off, always work in a shaded area where the vehicle surface is not exposed to
direct sunlight.
Use a foam applicator pad for applying the wax or sealant and use a new one if it
becomes
caked in wax.

Work on a small area at a time, we recommend an area of around 2 to 4 foot square at
a time,
this will allow you to concentrate on small area and will give you better results.
Follow the individual manufacturer instructions as to whether you should allow the
product to haze before you begin buffing.

If the residue does not easily buff to a shine, use a new clean towel. Always apply
the product
in a back and forth movement, circles will create swirls.

When you are done, the car's finish should be smooth and have no swirls, streaks, or
smudges.
