What is Transport Wax?
Quick answer: Transport wax is a temporary protective coating applied to new cars for shipping and storage. It shields paint from dirt, salt and fallout, then is removed at pre-delivery inspection with a dedicated remover - it isn’t a long-term protection.
Transport Wax, or Storage Wax, is a very thick product designed to be put on cars during long transportation or when put into storage.
It isn't designed to look good and is purely applied as a thick layer of protection to help prevent environmental contamination.
It is commonly applied at the factory before shipping by boat, rail and transporter and will be removed along with any polythene sheeting before it goes into the showroom or is delivered to the customer.
