How Long Should You Wait to Wipe Off Car Wax?

[JosieAnn]

Generally, wait until the wax is dry before wiping it off. Here are the relevant details: Specific time: In high temperatures, it takes about five to six minutes. If the temperature is not very high or is relatively low, it can be wiped off in about ten minutes. Do not leave it on for too long, as wiping off wax that has collected dust can damage the car's paint. When the applied wax turns white, test it with your hand. If the white residue on your hand is in the form of dry powder, it means the wax is dry and ready to be wiped off. Precautions: The interval between waxing should preferably not exceed three months. Over time, the wax can wear off due to rain or washing, not only losing its protective effect on the car's body but sometimes even sticking to the windshield and forming greasy stains.
