How Often Should You Wash and Wax Your Car?
1 Answers
Generally, waxing every 3-4 months is recommended. The interval between waxing sessions should vary depending on the driving and parking conditions of the vehicle. For cars parked in garages and mostly driven on good roads, waxing every 3-4 months is sufficient. The benefits and cycle of waxing are as follows: Benefits of Waxing: As a traditional aspect of car care, the primary benefit of waxing is water resistance 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%. Additionally, it provides protection against high temperatures and UV rays. As weather gets hotter, cars exposed to sunlight year-round are prone to paint fading and aging. The film formed by wax reflects some of the light, effectively preventing paint deterioration. Waxing Cycle: Given the varying driving and parking environments, the decision to wax should be based on actual usage and the local urban environment. Southern regions have rain with high acidity and more frequent rainfall, so waxing may be needed more often. In contrast, northern regions do not require frequent waxing.
