How Often Should a White New Car Be Waxed?
1 Answers
White new cars should be waxed approximately every 2 months. Precautions for waxing a new car: 1. Generally, new cars purchased within the last five months do not need immediate waxing. 2. Before waxing, it is best to wash the car body with car shampoo to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using dish soap or soapy water, as the sodium chloride content can erode the car's paint layer, wax film, and rubber parts, causing the paint to lose its luster and rubber parts to age. If no specialized car shampoo is available, clean the car with plain water and dry it thoroughly before applying wax. 3. Wax the car in a shaded area to prevent the body from heating up. As temperature rises, the adhesion of the wax decreases, affecting the waxing quality. 4. When applying wax, use a sponge to spread an appropriate amount of wax in straight, back-and-forth motions on the car body. Do not pour wax directly onto the car or apply it in circular motions. Complete the waxing process in one go without interruptions. Typically, after the wax layer is evenly applied, wait 5-10 minutes before polishing with a clean towel. However, quick waxes should be polished immediately while applying. 5. After waxing, some wax residue may remain in gaps such as around the headlights, license plate, doors, and trunk, making the car look untidy. If not cleaned promptly, these wax residues can cause rust. Therefore, ensure all wax residues are thoroughly removed after waxing for a perfect finish. In summary, just as people need beauty care, cars also require regular waxing to maintain a more attractive and beautiful appearance.
