How Long Can Car Wax Last?
1 Answers
If the car is parked in a garage after waxing, the wax can last for 3 to 4 months, while if parked outdoors, it typically lasts around 2 months. As a traditional car care procedure, car waxing primarily serves to waterproof and protect against acid rain. The wax's protective layer significantly reduces water droplet adhesion on the car body, with effectiveness ranging from 50% to 90%. Cars driven or stored outdoors year-round are prone to paint aging and fading due to sunlight exposure. The wax film reflects some of the light, effectively preventing paint aging. Additionally, car wax provides anti-static properties, which also helps repel dust. When a car moves, friction with the air generates static electricity. Car wax effectively reduces friction between the car body and air or dust. Less static electricity means less dust accumulation. Moreover, car wax enhances the car's shine, making the paint look newer and more attractive.
