How Often Should a Car Be Polished and Waxed?

[KeiraLee]

Cars often parked in garages can be waxed once every six months. For vehicles parked outdoors exposed to wind and rain, it is recommended to wax every 2-3 months. Of course, since driving and parking environments vary, the decision to wax should be based on actual usage conditions and the local urban environment. Related information: 1. The role of car waxing: Firstly, it provides waterproofing and protection against acid rain. The protective layer of wax significantly reduces water droplet adhesion on the car body, with effectiveness ranging from 50% to 90%. Secondly, it protects against high temperatures and UV rays. Cars driven or stored 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 aging. 2. The interval for car waxing: This depends on how long the wax layer lasts on the paint surface, which in turn is determined by the quality of the wax. Various car waxes on the market, whether high, medium, or low grade, do not have specific duration indicators for wax retention. In terms of effectiveness, they are quite similar. Therefore, waxing should be done promptly once the wax layer wears off.
