should you wax a new car?

A wax with a high carnuaba content will be lucky to last 2-4 weeks man. Are you a detailer, fuzion?

Only if it isn't applied properly.

I had Soft99 Authentic Premium last 2 months on my Golf that is parked outside 24/7 500m from the coast.

Are you? Because if you can't spell Carnauba i am a bit worried. However, please do tell me the content of the waxes and also additives, oils, solvents and other chemicals they use if you like too

Definately wax your car at least. having worked at car dealerships as a detailer the way cars are prepared for sale on the whole is disgusting.one of the reasons i started working for myself instead of dealerships was the poor treatment brand new cars received. if it was me i would clay it then try some Menzerna 2500,followed by Menzerna 4000 and finish with a wax or paint sealant of your choice.if after the 2500 it still had scratches go to the Menzerna 500 and then back to the 2500 and so on. the effort most dealerships i saw put in to detailing was pathetic,so work on your car as if you are starting with nothing because you are. as mentioned earlier repaints can need a curing period before polishing/waxing depending on paint but your new car has usually been painted months before you get it so nothing to worry about.
