It is best to use a colored polishing wax for a new car to protect the gloss and color of the 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. The following is an introduction to waxing a new car: 1. Do not wax a new car casually. It is not advisable to wax the car immediately after purchasing a new car. Because the paint layer of the new car itself already has a layer of protective wax, waxing too early will 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. Due to different driving environments and parking places, the interval between waxing should also vary. Generally, for vehicles parked in garages and mostly driven on good roads, waxing once every 3-4 months is sufficient. For vehicles parked outdoors, exposed to wind and rain, it is best to wax once every 2-3 months. You can also judge by touch. Generally speaking, when you feel that the body is not smooth to the touch, you can wax again.
I also thought about waxing my new car when I first got it. The factory paint coating is quite delicate in the first six months, so it's best not to use traditional waxes containing abrasives as they can easily scratch the paint. I recommend using synthetic or polymer waxes, like nano wax products. They're easy to apply and remove, and can form a protective film against UV rays and acid rain. Personally, I use Meguiar's synthetic wax. After each car wash, I apply a thin layer, wait about ten minutes, then wipe it off with a dry cloth. The shine is brilliant and long-lasting. Don't wax a new car too frequently - once a month is enough. This saves you the trouble of polishing and some money too. Regular maintenance can keep your car's paint looking new for up to five years, so don't slack off.
