How to Mix Car Wax

If you want to wax your car with a car wax that is earth friendly and does not contain many of the harsh chemicals found in commercial waxes, you may want to consider making your own car wax at home. All you need are a few simple materials and a little bit of time to make your own car wax.

1. Mix together two cups of vinegar, two cups of linseed oil and three-quarters of a cup of beeswax into a medium-sized sauce pan.


2. Turn on your stove to a low heat to heat up all of your ingredients.


3. Stir your mixture constantly until all materials are well blended.


4. Remove the pan from your heat source and allow it to cool for about twenty minutes.


5. Pour the car wax mixture into an airtight plastic container.


6. Place the lid onto your container, and allow the homemade car wax to sit overnight so that it will solidify and become the correct consistency for you to wax your car.


7. Apply the homemade car wax to your car in the same manner that you would apply a commercial car wax. You should do small areas at a time so that the car wax is not allowed to harden too much making it hard to remove.


8. Use vinegar to remove any areas of the car wax that are giving you trouble coming off. Simply apply a small amount of vinegar to a rag and rub the area in a circular motion.


9. Store any leftover car wax in an airtight container until you are ready to use it again. This will ensure that it does not dry out in between uses.
