DO NEW CAR FINISHES REALLY NEED CAR WAX?
The improvements in clearcoat paint technology have started a distressing trend at new car dealerships. Many new car dealers are telling their clients that the paint on their new car is maintenance-free and does not require car wax. This could not be further from the truth. While the improved paint technology has created a longer lasting finish, the finish does oxidize and it is not impervious to environmental conditions. It still requires regular care, including car wax.

Not really. I have had my car for almost 10 years and never waxed it once. It still looks great. The new paints don't need waxed. The most important thing is to keep your car clean. I usually spray off my car when ever I can to keep the winter salt from building up too much.

yes absolutely wax before winter with a long lasting wax....most expensive waxes are made for shine and dont really last that long as a protector check the wax rack for the ones that have been around for a long time like ordinary turtle wax hard shell....not really a mirror shine but a longer lasting protector

Actually waxing your car helps keep it clean and protect your investment. And believe it or not, it helps get better millege. Pro stock drag racers swear it helps them. You should keep a good coat of wax on your car and really cleaning it good AFTER winter will prevent rust from developing...

well I don't think it is a necessity to have it waxed before winter.The Most important thing to do to your car before winter is fill up your anti freeze and get new wiper blades and check the tread on your tires.I make sure my car is rinsed in the winter time to keep the salt off.

Clear Coat protection is vital to maintaining that brand new car look... The elements of the Summer as well as Winter take their toll of your pride and joy so take care of it and check under the hood at least twice a month... good luck and
rub,rub, rub...
