How Long Does a Car Wax Last?

[StBrynlee]

Cars typically retain wax for about three months. Frequent exposure to sunlight can cause oxidation on the car's paint surface, and waxing helps protect the paint. Many car owners also apply a layer of invisible car wrap (paint protection film) after purchasing a new vehicle. This invisible wrap is essentially a transparent film that adheres to the car body to safeguard the paint. Below are the benefits of car waxing: 1. Water and acid rain resistance. The protective layer of wax significantly reduces water droplet adhesion on the car body, with effectiveness ranging from 50% to 90%. 2. Protection against high temperatures and UV rays. Cars driven or parked outdoors year-round are prone to paint aging and fading due to sunlight. The film formed by waxing reflects some of the light, effectively preventing paint deterioration.
