"...lasts up to 12 months."

Some waxes like that of Turtle Wax and Formula 1 claim their products lasts up to 12 months. What's your opinion on this? Is this true?

Thanks. :confused:

maybe if you only drive your car once a week on perfect weather and only use a feather duster to clean your car. :D

Its true that it can last for 12 months (theoretically).. Realistically, it can last maybe 1 to 2 months :-)

it is impossible for waxes to last up to 12 months. A more realistic figure would be 1 month. The same cant be said for sealants however. Sealants could last anywhere from 3-8 mos. in our weather conditions. Another factor is how you wash your car. A way to strip off all the wax would be to use laundry soap to wash your car. Better to use a good shampoo to take care of the car after waxing/sealing.

It will...if you keep it in a covered garage, under a breathable car cover, and not use it for twelve months. All these claims are very misleading.

Under our weather, wax on a daily driver will last anywhere from 3-4 weeks.

It's simple... The key point you have to remember when reading labels is that they're written by Marketing specialists...

The key words are "up to" that can range between 1 day to 365 days... Edi walang sabit ang legal dept. diba?
