How long does wax lasts?
How long does wax lasts?
Hi all Remember my thread where i showed some pics of my waxed max? That was like three weeks ago. during that time i washed my max only two times.
BTW those three weeks were very hot and heavy rains. After second wash my max paint wasn't so smoothy. d u think it's possible for wax to go off in three weeks?

yes, def. in the heat. here in FL, I religiously wash/wax every Sunday. Call in ****, but I promise you that my Max's paint is in the best condition and protected the most.
the wax will, for at least a month, still do its job, but toward the end of that time period, its effectiveness diminishes.

Some sealants last up to 6 months or more dependent on environment.
