Waxing your car was an important step in the car washing process where I grew up out West. Car wax is not something people have in their garages at home here in New York where I now live. In California, cars are much more than just cars. Car owners accessorize their cars much more there than they do here. They add chrome wheels and custom door lock knobs. A car is a reflection of who you are. A car is a way to get around on the East Coast. Even if you do not pimp out your car and just use it to get around in California, the sun can eat away at your car pretty quickly. Car wax is, therefore, a necessity there to protect your car. Regular waxing will keep your car looking as new as when you bought it.
So how often do you need to wax your car? The guys at the auto detailing shop will tell you it is dependent upon how perfect you want your car to look and what type of car wax you use (some of the synthetic waxes supposedly last for a year, for example.) If you are a perfectionist, you could be waxing your car all the time under those rules. According to the description on car wax containers, it is time to wax again if rain water does not bead up on the paint.
You can get your car waxed one of two ways. You can have a professional do it, or do it yourself. It seems to me that when I have professionals wax my car, it lasts a lot longer than when I do it. It could be that they are using better car wax or that I just have bad technique. But here is how the experts tell you to apply car wax. Start with a freshly washed car. Do not wax in the direct sunlight or if it is too cold. You want the car surface to feel very smooth before you begin. Use a non abrasive car safe surface cleaner to remove bits of grit from the paint if there is still some present even after washing the car. Dip a damp cloth or sponge in the car wax and apply it to the car surface in small circles. Make sure you remember where you have applied it, as you cover the entire painted surface. Then, starting where you began, use a cloth to remove the wax you applied. Make sure to shake out the towel frequently, so the wax does not build up. Use a new clean cloth to polish the entire surface and make sure there are no spots of wax left.
