Can a New Car Be Waxed?

[DominicRose]

New cars can indeed be waxed, but it is generally not recommended to wax a car immediately after purchase. Car wax serves multiple purposes, including waterproofing, resistance to high temperatures, anti-static properties, UV protection, and enhancing the gloss of the paint. Waxing is a traditional aspect of car care that helps protect the paint. However, new cars come with a factory-applied protective wax, so they typically do not require waxing for the first six months. The frequency of waxing depends on how long the wax layer remains effective on the paint surface, which in turn depends on the quality of the wax used. Various waxes available on the market, regardless of their price range, do not come with a specific duration of effectiveness. It is advisable to reapply wax once the existing wax layer wears off.
