How to Make Car
Wax
Car wax is a protective layer applied on clean
and dry exterior of the car. It is a hard, water repellent and glossy varnish
that protects the paint against abrasive particles in the air and repels dirty
water while driving in a wet road.
Ingredients of car wax:
| Materials |
Quantity |
| Beeswax |
2 tbsp |
| Carnauba Wax |
1/2 cup |
| Turpentine (or odorless mineral
spirit) |
2 cups |
| Pine oil |
1 tbsp |
Equipment you need are:
You need a temperature controlled wax melter
and a well ventilated place or hood.
Using flame is very dangerous when you are
dealing with waxes, oils and solvents. They are all flammable and catch fire at
certain temperature.
If you don't have a wax melter, buy a hot plate
and couple of steel pans to make a double boiler. Add a small amount of water to
the larger pot and place it over the hot plate. Add your materials to the
smaller pot (melting pot) and place it inside the larger pot. The double boiler
limits the amount of heat getting to your melting pot.
CAUTION:
As a safety precaution wear gloves and goggles
and have a fire extinguisher nearby. Also be very careful to avoid spilling the
mixture on hotplate. Spill on hotplate will cause fire that can easily expand to
the melting pot.
Production process/ Cooking the car wax:
Measure all the ingredients by weight and add
them to the melting pot.
Start the heat and bring water to a low boil.
If you are using a wax melter, set the temperature to 85 to 90 degrees Celsius
or about 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
Stir ingredients frequently until all
ingredients are dissolved and formed a uniform solution.
Whole thing will dissolve in about 30 minutes.
Let the mixture cool down a little and pour it
in glass or metal containers for storage.
