Wax the car too many times... - Toyota Yaris Forums

I just wonder if it is bad for the paint if we wax the car every month?

Thanks!

I waxed my '87 Camry every month until I sold it in '99. The (white) paint looked like the day I bought the car new.

I hope I can do the same with my '07 Yaris. So far, I've waxed it over dozen times...

waxing every month is ok. But if i were you I wouldn't do it too often.

The girl I admired in junior high school will come to Utah to see me tomorrow...

I'll clean my dirty Yaris baby and wax it tonight....

Waxing it with carunba wax or other mild applicants isn't bad for the car. It mostly builds up additional coats of protection over the clearcoat.

However, excessive polishing or deep-cut waxing could degrade the clearcoat to a point where it's no longer protecting the base coat of paint.

No, doing a wax each month is the better way to keep your paint like the first day!

Hopefully, the girl would love my Yaris

I wouldn't wax for the first few months - wash only. After that, wax that baby every month!
