How often should a new car be waxed?
2 Answers
Generally, a new car should not be waxed casually. Because the paint layer of a new car already has a layer of protective wax, waxing too early will remove the original wax on the surface of the new car, causing unnecessary waste. Usually, there is no need to rush to wax a new car within a few months of purchase. Depending on the driving environment and parking location of the vehicle, the interval for waxing should also vary. Here are the specific details: 1. Cars parked in garages: For vehicles that are usually parked in garages and mostly driven on good roads, waxing once every 3-4 months is sufficient. 2. Cars parked outdoors: For vehicles parked outdoors, exposed to wind and rain, it is best to wax them every 2-3 months.
How often should you wax a new car? I think this should be discussed based on personal experience. When I bought my first car, the salesperson told me that new cars come with a factory protective coating, so waxing too early would be a waste. I waited six months before getting a professional wax, and the car looked so shiny that dirt just wiped right off. Since then, I wax every three months because there's a lot of dust in the city, and wax helps block UV rays and prevent paint aging. Don't listen to people who say you can wait indefinitely—regular waxing keeps your car's value high, so it'll still be worth something when you sell it used years later. The key is not to wait too long, or the paint will dull and you'll end up spending more on touch-ups. My advice to beginners is not to rush; waiting six months is a good starting point.
