How Often Should You Wax?
For most cars, waxing every three to four months keeps the paint protected. If you park outdoors or live somewhere with harsh sun, salt, or winters, moving closer to every two months is worth it.
Why Waxing Protects Value
Wax adds a barrier against UV rays, road grime, and moisture that would otherwise dull and oxidise the paint. Beyond the shine, protecting the finish helps hold your car's resale value over time.
