Is Waxing the Car a Waste if It Rains Afterwards?
1 Answers
Rain after waxing a car has no negative effect, as the primary function of waxing itself includes waterproofing and protection against acid rain. Car wax can reduce the amount of water droplets adhering to the body by approximately 50-90%, so rain after waxing can actually help prevent corrosion. Benefits of Car Waxing: Waxing provides waterproofing, reducing watermarks, dark spots, rust, and damage to the paint; anti-aging effects, decreasing UV damage to the paint and extending its lifespan; gloss enhancement, improving the smoothness of the paint to varying degrees and making the car's color more vibrant; anti-static effects, reducing damage to the paint caused by friction with dust, wool fabrics, synthetic fibers, etc. in the air; anti-corrosion effects, effectively isolating the paint from damage caused by acid rain and acid mist. Precautions for Car Waxing: Different car body colors require different types of wax. Dark-colored bodies should use black, red, or green series waxes, while light-colored bodies should use silver, white, pearl white, etc. Additionally, if the driving environment is harsh, a more protective tree resin wax should be used. Of course, new cars do not need waxing because the surface of a new car already has a protective wax layer. Waxing too early is also a waste, so it's generally best to wait about five months before waxing.
