How Long Should Wax Be Left On Before Wiping Off?

[LaLyla]

There is no exact time for how long wax should be left on before wiping it off, but generally, it takes about 10-20 minutes. Here is more information about car waxing: 1. Precautions: For vehicles parked outdoors exposed to wind and rain, it is recommended to wax every 2-3 months. Generally, new cars should not be waxed indiscriminately because the paint layer already has a protective wax coating. Waxing too early may remove the original wax on the new car's surface. 2. Introduction: Waxing essentially involves cleaning the paint surface with wax water and then polishing the car's surface to achieve the desired effect. 3. Benefits: As a traditional car care procedure, waxing primarily provides waterproofing and protection against acid rain. The wax coating significantly reduces water droplet adhesion on the car body, with an effectiveness rate of 50% to 90%. It also protects against high temperatures and UV rays. With increasingly hot weather, cars exposed to sunlight for extended periods can suffer from paint aging and fading. The wax film reflects some of the light, effectively preventing paint deterioration. Additionally, car wax prevents static electricity and, consequently, dust accumulation. As the car moves, friction with the air generates static electricity, but the wax acts as a barrier between the car body and air/dust particles. Less static electricity means less dust attraction, and the wax also enhances the car's shine, making it look newer and more attractive.
