Dark or Light? Check which option you should choose

When choosing a wax from Soft99 you must have notice that waxes are divided into two groups: light waxes and dark waxes. If you have a white or black car, then the choice is trivial. But what if your car is yellow, silver or, for example, grey? In this article you we’ll explain few basic facts which will help you to get a better insight on the topic.

Firstly: forget about the coloring waxes

First of all, Soft99 waxes do not color your paintwork! None of them contains any pigment so even a correctly chosen wax will not change the color of your car.

Formulas of waxes varies in such way that even an inexperienced user can reach the best results on his type of paintwork.

The composition makes a difference

Waxes for DARK paintwork contain more fillers. Thanks to that, they more effectively hide little flaws which ruin the end-results. Paintwork reflects the light more evenly, which improves the shine and the mirror effect.

Waxes for LIGHT paintwork contain more cleaners, and sometimes even a really mild abrasive particles. They help to remove invisible residues and oxidation during application, and more effectively bring back the initial color of the light paintwork.

Check it by yourself

Is there any universal rule which could help you choose the best type of wax by yourself? We’d suggest a little experiment. Handwash your car and look at yourself in the paintwork. The closer the paintwork is to the mirror effect, the closer it is to the dark version of a wax.
