oxygen in the air and water react with the metal of the car to form rust.. the wax forms a waterproof layer which makes it harder for substances to reach the metal.. therefore leaving it unreacted :)

A wax seal creates a barrier between the car's paint and corrosive elements like water, salt, and dirt, reducing the chances of rust formation. It helps to maintain the paint's integrity by blocking out moisture and contaminants that can cause oxidation and corrosion on the metal surface of the car. Regularly waxing the car can help prolong its lifespan and preserve its appearance.
