Can I wax the car in rainy days?

After the car is waxed, the rain will not wash away the freshly waxed wax, because the wax itself is waterproof and can protect the car paint.

An important function of waxing is to prevent acidic substances in rain from corroding car paint.

Therefore, the rain after the car is waxed does not affect the performance of the wax, but only plays its own role.

On the contrary, waxing is best avoided in the sun. Because the main component of wax is extracted from petroleum, it is easy to be oxidized if it is exposed to direct sunlight. Usually, the wax will lose its function after the sun shines 1 to 2 weeks, so it needs to be waxed again.

However, it should be noted that the foam or washing liquid sprayed when washing the car is very harmful to the wax. After washing once, the wax is almost gone, and the luster of the car paint is gone after washing too much.

So wash the car with clear water after waxing, from top to bottom, so as not to hurt the paint.
