In Reply to: How long does your wax job last? posted by Tangoll on August 19, 2001 at 20:29:06:
1) is the car garaged or left in the open?
2) what is the climate?
3) what kind of wax was used and what kind of surface prep was done?
4) how often do you wash the car?
5) when you wash it, what do you wash it with? Some washs are strip more wax than others.
6) how do you decide when it's time to wax again?
7) how much airborne polution/acid rain is there in your area and is the car exposed to it?
All of these factors will affect how long the wax appears to last. I'm sure the answers will be different in each case and may not even reflect the enviroment your car is in.

A lot of posts and pics of nicely waxed cars here. I wax my 1988 535i E34 (same model as 1989 in USA - I guess BMW used Hong Kong as test market) with Johnson Wax softwax, and because HK is so polluted, dirty, rains a lot, after the first rain or first wash job in 1 - 2 weeks, the wax job is basically finito. How often do you guys wax your car(s) and how long does the wax job last? Or how do you wash the car and maintain a nice looking wax job?
