Usually for a Sealant it will last anywhere from 6-8 months depending on how well you maintain your vehicle and a typically spray wax or carnauba wax will last anywhere from 2-3 months. The conditions in which you leave your vehicle also play into effect, for example if you apply a wax on your vehicle and leave it out in the sun all the time then chances are your wax isn't going to last as long and wont get to those 2 months of durability. This can also depend on if you use a sealant as sealants tend to have more durability against the sun and will last longer in those conditions. These protectant are meant to protect your paint and if you don't have a protection on your vehicles paint then chances are your paint will fade, become fragile, and look more dull over time.

Chances are if your paint is making the water bead up or sheet off then your wax is probably still very durable and working properly. On the other hand if your paint is not reacting to the water in any kind of way then your paint is probably in need of a new coat of wax or sealant. The best thing to do after you have applied a coating of wax is to wash your car at least once a month and apply a wax to maintain the protection of your vehicles paint. You can also result to the best option which is get a professional detailer to clean your vehicle regularly as they will have better equipment and chemicals to clean your car properly and apply a wax on your car as well.
