What kind of wax is best for a new car?

For a new car, it is best to use a color glaze wax to protect the gloss and color of the car body. In summer, it is advisable to choose a UV-resistant car wax, and when the driving environment is poor, a tree resin wax with outstanding protective effects should be used. Below is an introduction to waxing a new car: 1. Do not wax a new car casually: It is not advisable to wax a new car immediately after purchase. This is because the paint layer of a new car already has a layer of protective wax, and waxing too early will only remove the original wax on the surface of the new car, causing unnecessary waste. Generally, there is no need to rush to wax a new car within five months of purchase. 2. Secondly, it is important to master the frequency of waxing: Depending on the driving environment and parking location of the vehicle, the interval between waxing should vary. For vehicles that are usually parked in a garage and mostly driven on good roads, waxing every 3-4 months is sufficient. For vehicles parked outdoors, exposed to wind and rain, it is best to wax every 2-3 months. You can also judge by touch; generally, when the body feels rough to the touch, it is time to wax again.
For new cars, it's best to choose a synthetic wax or carnauba wax without abrasives. My experience is that the paint on a new car is still very delicate, and the clear coat from the factory needs gentle protection. Like the liquid synthetic wax I'm using now, just apply a thin layer with a sponge, let it sit for a few minutes, then polish with a microfiber cloth—it shines brilliantly without damaging the paint. Remember to avoid waxing under the midday sun, as the wax dries too quickly and can leave marks. Waxing once a month for the first six months is ideal, and it makes cleaning off dust easier later. Don't skimp on this expense, as repairing paint scratches costs more. If you do it yourself, it takes about an hour, and you can buy reputable brands online—options ranging from tens to a hundred dollars are all decent.
