Wax Every Season
Between
paint cleanings and wax applications, you'll find you've picked up
stains and scratches. Using liquid spray wax that can touch up these
spots between waxings is a good idea but not a substitute for a real wax
coating. Because there is no definitive way to tell when wax has worn
off, stick to a schedule: Give your car a wax job every season if the
vehicle spends every day outdoors.
Pennington says to forget the old tricks for telling when your car needs a wax, such as tossing a terry towel at the car and seeing if it will slide off. "Too many people take beading water to equal protection," he explains. "If you go to a paint shop, pull a car right out of the paint room, and spill water on it, it will bead like crazy, but there's not one layer of protection on it."
