Is it okay if it rains half an hour after waxing?

It's fine. Rain after waxing your car won't have much impact on the paint, and because of the wax on the car's surface, it's less likely to accumulate stains on rainy days. Just wipe the car clean after the rain, and it will look shiny and new. The benefits of waxing: Car wax provides waterproofing and protection against acid rain. Due to the wax's protective layer, it reduces water droplet adhesion on the car's surface, safeguarding the paint with an effectiveness of 50% to 90%. Additionally, car wax prevents static electricity and dust by creating a barrier between the car's surface and airborne particles, minimizing static and dirt buildup. It also protects against high temperatures and UV rays. As the weather gets hotter, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause paint to fade and age. The wax forms a film that reflects some of the light, effectively preventing paint aging. Moreover, wax enhances the car's shine, making it look newer and brighter. If it rains after waxing, the wax will protect the paint, so there's no harm to the car. A single wax application typically lasts for about a month or through four car washes.
