Do New Cars Have Wax?

[OFinley]

New cars have wax, as the paint surface comes with a protective wax coating from the factory. Below are the reasons why you should not wax a new car arbitrarily and how to determine the appropriate waxing frequency. Reasons not to wax a new car arbitrarily: Since the new car's paint layer already has a protective wax coating, waxing too early may remove the original wax on the surface, leading to unnecessary waste. Generally, there is no need to rush into waxing a new car within the first five to six months of ownership. Determining the appropriate waxing frequency: The interval between waxing should vary depending on the driving environment and parking conditions of the vehicle. For vehicles parked in garages and mostly driven on well-maintained roads, waxing every 3–4 months is sufficient. For vehicles parked outdoors and exposed to wind and rain, it is best to wax every 2–3 months. You can also judge by touch—when the body no longer feels smooth to the touch, it's time to wax again.
