The wax also gives a type of seal to the paint that prevents the water from contacting the metal which is exposed in scratches and deep chips. It also slows down the corrosion process. Wax needs to be applied regularly for getting best results. The ready car wax products will not last forever on the car. Agreeing to a reasonable observation, a good ability car wax will stay on the car for almost about three to four months. It means if the car is being waxed for at least after every three months using a good product, the car will be okay.

If a car has not been waxed for a long period of time, then it is better to take it to a local car dealer or one can visit his dealer for and car services and ask them about the packages they offer. They buff the car using electrical buffer and extra polishing aggregate that contains mild polisher for removing scratches of light nature, hard stains and other paint impurities, afterward they will wax it. After the car has been done with these procedures, wax can be naturally applied after every three months to keep in a shiny condition.

A good ability car wax is needed for this purpose along with a soft small sponge and a soft clean towel. The car must be very clean and dry before starting. The faultless process of washing, drying and waxing would take nearly an hour.

One should make sure to select the right product for waxing. A wax with no abrasives is needed. One of the good ability waxes is called Carnauba. The directions on the holder should be read before getting started. The wax should be tested on a small area first. It is better to park the car in a shadow as it will give better results. regularly the car wax works better when the exterior of the car is cool to the touch. One part of the car should be waxed at a time like the door or fender.

If one is using liquid wax, then the bottle has to shaken well before using it. A small estimate of wax has to be applied to the sponge and then it has to be spread evenly on one section of the car. It's good to start from the top and then do the lowest panels in the end because there is all the time some leftover dirt at the bottom.

The wax should be made in to a thin and even layer. The surfaces must not be touched like rubber door seals, black window trim and black matte plastic as the wax will leave white stains on them. One part of the car must be worked at one time.

The wax should be allowed to haze which regularly takes about one to two minutes. It should be then buffed into a perfect shine using a clean and soft towel. The cloth should be rotated oftentimes as the clean part of the towel works the best.

When the whole process is completed, the wax has to be cleaned from the matte unpainted surfaces like plastic moldings, rubber door seals and unpainted bumper. It is better to use window spray cleaner for this purpose.
It is recommended to wax the car regularly like once after every three months. Every car needs to be applied regularly.
