Answer 1

A good coat of wax protects the paint of the vehicle, Depending on the use of your vehicle, you man need to rewax every 6 months to a year. The wax protects you paint from sunlight, water, dirt and dust. The benefits are that you will have glossy and richer color the consequences are possible build up on certain locations, sometimes people get wax on the wrong places, like door handles.

Answer 2

Your car will rust away quicker and soon the car will be worthless. The wax will prolong the ability of your cars metal to fight off corrosion. You should wax it at least every 6 months but some prefer more frequent waxing. You usually can tell by the rain, when the droplets stop beading up into tiny little balls then you should wax.

Hello, without waxing your car your paint will have a greater oxidation meaning your paint job will not last plus if you have birds that mess on your vehicle without a good waxing the bird poop will eat your paint down to a rusted hole.
