Title: How often should you wax?
Post by: Omegadoha, Desert Member on 02 January 2010, 18:51:44: When water stops beading up on your paintwork, it is time to start waxing. How often should you wax and is it possible to reinstate the water beading property?

When water stops beading up on your paintwork, it is time to start waxing. How often should you wax and is it possible to reinstate the water beading property?

How often depends on the quality of protector, weather conditions , road conditions, your washing water and where you keep the car..

for a sunny very hot climate, the wax is lost approx after 15-20 days ..

a car used daily on a very rainy climate and facing acidic mud mixtures also can keep max 30 days..

if you have a habit of parking car under a tree which is also home of birds maximum half hour ;D :y

I normally wax them within 20-30 days intervals depending on the weather and season..
