Don’t leave the wax on for too long.

Have you ever wondered how long you should leave your wax on your car before you wipe it off? Truth be told, it is a matter of minutes, a maximum of 2 minutes. For example, if you are using Griot’s Garage Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax, then you should definitely try to protect it from water or avoid applying a second coat until it cures for 12 to 24 hours after wiping off.

Then, there is also Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax, which you should wipe off instantly. There’s truly no hard-and-fast rule when it comes to this. Each and every wax is completely different, so the secret here is to follow the instructions and get optimal results.

Some might need to dry to a haze. Others will leave wider streaks, especially if you don’t wipe them off right away. You have to keep in mind that when it comes to any type of wax if you leave it for too long, you should expect to see streaks.

Don’t go overboard with your products.

Whether we’re talking about wax or interior protectant, the most important thing is that less is definitely better! It goes even further when it comes to paint protection since using too much wax offers really no additional benefit.

In fact, removing it will be much more difficult. This fact also applies to mixing certain concentrated products, so you wouldn’t want to go too strong. In fact, using window cleaners that are too strong might lead to more visible leaks.
