Does a Car Need Waxing?
1 Answers
Waxing involves applying a protective layer of car wax to the vehicle's body. Its functions include: waterproofing and acid rain protection; heat and UV resistance; anti-static and dust prevention. Waterproofing and acid rain protection: Due to the protection of car wax, the amount of water droplets adhering to the car body is significantly reduced. Heat and UV resistance: In hot weather, cars that are driven or parked outdoors for extended periods are prone to paint aging and fading due to sunlight. The film formed by waxing can reflect some of the light, effectively preventing paint aging. Car wax also enhances the shine, making the car appear more glossy. New cars should not be waxed arbitrarily. Generally, new cars come with factory-applied wax on the body. If a new car has been transported over long distances or stored for a long time, and the factory wax is damaged, it is recommended to rewax. Waxing duration: The duration of wax protection depends on actual driving conditions, typically lasting around 1-2 months. In rainy weather, the protection duration is shorter. Regular car maintenance is essential. In the rainy southern regions, waxing may be needed more frequently than in the north. For cars parked under cover, waxing every 4 months is sufficient. For cars exposed to outdoor elements like wind, sun, and rain, waxing every 2-3 months is recommended. Generally, when the car body feels rough to the touch, it's time to consider waxing.
