What’s the most correct way to maintain a car?

What’s the most correct way to maintain a car? I believe many car owners speak of daily maintenance, they must think of car wash and waxing.

Many car owners think that waxing can protect the paint, sure, the right amount of wax can protect the paint, and make the paint bright. However, some car waxes contain alkaline substances, which will make the body black after using for a long time. Special reminder, you don’t need to rush to wax when you buy a new car. There is no need to wax in less than 5 months because the new car itself has a layer of wax, which is unnecessary. In addition, there are many places, such as car paint, rim, oil, lighting, instrument panels, engine… These owners can simply check and regularly clean to effectively reduce the car’s failure during driving.
