How often should a car be waxed for maintenance?

[SanGeorge]

In summer, it is recommended to wax the car approximately every three months, while in winter, waxing every 3 to 4 months is sufficient. Generally, waxing every two to three months is advisable. New cars should be waxed as soon as possible after purchase. Before waxing, it is best to wash the car with water to remove dirt and dust from the body. Waxing should be done in a shaded area to ensure the car body does not become too hot. When applying wax, use a sponge to apply an appropriate amount of car wax, then polish it with a microfiber towel in straight, back-and-forth motions on the car body. Avoid pouring wax directly onto the car or applying it in circular motions. The waxing process should be completed in one continuous session without interruptions. Typically, after the wax layer is evenly applied, it should be polished with a new towel within 5 to 10 minutes. However, for quick waxes, polishing should be done simultaneously with application. After waxing the car body, some wax residue may remain in gaps such as around the lights, license plate, doors, and trunk. It is important to maintain an appropriate waxing frequency.
