Car Waxing in Davenport, FL
Shine that holds up to the Florida sun
Hand applied wax or a long lasting paint sealant, done in your driveway. Your paint stays deeper, slicker and a lot easier to keep clean.
Your paint is cooking out there
Central Florida gets strong UV almost every day of the year. Without protection, clear coat oxidizes, reds and blacks fade and black trim turns chalky gray. Wax and sealant take that beating so your paint doesn't have to.
The bonus is that protected paint stays clean longer. Bugs and pollen wash right off and rain beads up instead of drying into spots.

Car waxing questions
How long does car wax last in Florida?
A good hand wax usually lasts about 4 to 8 weeks here because of the heat and UV. A paint sealant lasts much longer, often 4 to 6 months with regular washing.
Wax or sealant, which one should I get?
Wax gives a warm, deep shine and is great if you like to keep up with it. Sealant is the better pick if you want protection that lasts and you would rather not think about it for a few months.
Do I need a clay bar before waxing?
If the paint feels rough after a wash, yes. Wax will not bond well over contamination, so we clay first when it is needed. It is included in our Wax & Protection package.
