    Hey guys,

    I am doing a speech on waxing cars. I was wondering if one of you from straightline could give me a quote that I could cite stating an important reason why someone should wax their car... something about resale value, making your car look good, protect the paint... anything would help... Thanks

    I know its lame but I need a "Professional" to give me some insight according to the teacher.

    -Landon

        ''INSTEAD of waxing..It should be a Paint Sealent. Reason being is, to protect the clear coat and paint from oxidation,bugs eating paint and clear coat. Also it protects from bird droppings,acid rain and tree sap."

                                                                                  -Manager,
                                                                                        Hutton Automotive
        

        I know you said "straightline" but i thought i would help out just a bit....

          A freshly waxed vehicle gives the look like "my owner loves me", and we all know people nit-pick when buying a vehicle. A vehicle with a well maintained exterior will fetch a better price than one without. Noone likes dull paint.

          I detailed for a few years at don bessette motors.

                      Haha, there's nothing in the world that makes me happier than knowing I'll never have to be in a class like that ever again :icon_thumright: Like it's a problem for you Landon, you probably would have set the curve last year if he would have had one.

                      BTW, the car looked awesome last weekend. Bring it out to the track next month!!!

                                    LMAO not so much... the class wasnt that bad... the project kinda sucked cause it took so much time. Without your adding figures on the data and printing our stats project wouldn't have gone very well either so give your self some props to. 🙂

                                        Its not that bad, its pretty simple... just go to class and pay attention and you will be fine.
