I know some waxes/polishes last longer than others but after recently waxing my friends 30's-40's Hot Rod with Collinite 845, he stated his car likely wouldn't need another coat of wax for 2-3 years based on it only being a summer vehicle and that it is normally stored in an underground parking garage with a cover on it after most weekends.
This got me thinking, does he have a valid point or do waxes/polishes eventually wear/gas off regardless of the amount of sun/washes it sees? I know in the fall when I get a coat of wax on our family's wheels prior to storage in my shed, the wheels are smooth and slippery like they should be but when the spring arrives, the slipperiness/smoothness has deteriorated somewhat on them.
I assume wax will eventually wear/deteriorate regardless of the amount of sun/weather/washes it sees but I am curious what others have to say about it.
