How Long Can Car Wax Last?

[LeSerenity]

Car wax generally lasts for 3-4 months, but this duration depends on the parking conditions and weather environment. If the car is frequently parked outdoors, exposure to sun and rain is unavoidable, especially in southern regions (where rainwater has high acidity). Over time, this will reduce the lifespan of the protective wax, potentially causing it to lose effectiveness in 2-3 months. Below are some precautions for car waxing: 1. Avoid waxing a new car immediately: Some people wax their new cars right after purchase, which is not advisable. New cars already have a layer of protective wax on their paint. Waxing too early may remove this original wax, leading to unnecessary waste. Generally, there is no need to rush into waxing a new car within the first five months. 2. Control the frequency of waxing: For vehicles parked outdoors, exposed to wind and rain, it is best to wax every 2-3 months. Of course, this is not a strict rule. When the car body feels rough to the touch, it’s time to wax again.
