Synthetic Waxes and modern carnauba blends may seem like they came from the future. Since the 90s car waxes have been attributed to deflecting car waxing lasers, resisting storms, and even repelling dust with their static charges.

With all the marketing stuff companies have long bombarded us with; it's difficult to believe that these products actually are just waxes. They can't repel normal weather abuse for long amounts of time. This is especially true in the more humid conditions and extremely cold weather.

Car wax coatings should not be expected to last for months. It's best if you can wax your car once a month if you use it normally. Rainy days alternating with hot sunlit days will kill your cars protection really fast.

If you use your car in harsher conditions like that, and use it as for commuting to work most days then expect to wax your car as often as twice a month. People who have a love affair with their cars will even go as much as waxing once a week. It is simply too much expect a car wax to give optimal protection to your car when used twice a year. No matter what the car care product companies tell you.
