How Often Should You Wax Your Car in Summer?
2 Answers
Wax your car approximately every three months in summer. Below is additional information: The method for waxing a car is: Use tape to section off the areas that need waxing; pour an appropriate amount of polishing compound onto a green sponge pad; rub back and forth in a straight line along any scratched areas; wipe clean with a soft cloth after a few minutes; inspect the waxing effect after wiping. Precautions for car waxing include: Adjust the waxing frequency based on the actual condition of the car body; thoroughly clean dirt and dust from the car's exterior before waxing; wax the car in a shaded area to prevent the body from heating up; apply wax in circular motions using a sponge pad with an appropriate amount of car wax; ensure all wax residue is completely removed after waxing; keep the work area clear when waxing the car.
From my years of driving experience, it's best to wax your car every two months in summer. The intense sun and strong UV rays can cause the wax layer to evaporate quickly. Additionally, frequent rain exposes the paint to acidic substances in rainwater. Waxing not only keeps the paint shiny but also provides sun protection and water resistance, delaying fading. I usually wax my car after washing it, using a liquid spray wax for convenience—it takes just about ten minutes. If your car is often parked outdoors or in direct sunlight, the wax layer wears out faster, possibly requiring monthly applications. Watch for signs on the car body: when water no longer beads up, it's time to rewax. Parking in shaded areas whenever possible can reduce the frequency of waxing.
