How often should a newly purchased car be waxed?
1 Answers
A newly purchased car only needs to be waxed after six months. It is unnecessary and even counterproductive to wax a new car too early because the vehicle comes with a protective wax coating from the factory. Waxing too soon may remove this original protective layer, wasting effort and failing to achieve the intended results. Car waxing is a traditional aspect of automotive care, primarily serving to waterproof and protect against acid rain. The wax coating significantly reduces water droplet adhesion on the car's surface, with effectiveness ranging from 50% to 90%. Additionally, car wax helps prevent static electricity and dust buildup. As the car moves, friction with the air generates static, and the wax effectively minimizes contact between the car's surface and airborne particles.
