How long does car wax last?
My car is freshly waxed and it looks fantastic—but I’m wondering if it will look this nice forever. How long does car wax last?
Natalie Todoroff · Updated on

To answer “how long does car wax last?”, we first need to know whether or not you did the job yourself or if you took it in to a professional. A DIY car wax should last six weeks, while a professional job lasts about six months.
A pro knows how to prepare your car for a wax, which helps extend its lifespan. That, and the professional-grade synthetic sealants they use are specifically engineered to withstand the test of time.
If you spent your Sunday afternoon waxing your car yourself, we’d recommend setting a reminder on your phone for six weeks later, so you don’t forget to strip off the old wax.
And, to help keep your car gleaming, ensure you’re using wax-friendly shampoo
