Default it's the season !

Well it's time for the annual or bi-annual wash and wax session. It's gonna be a nice weekend here in SE Pennsylvania, good time to get to it. How offen do you wash and wax your Vette? I don't do the Zaino thing, just cause I have a bad back and washing and waxing is a real big job for me to do. And I can't find anyone around me who is willing to do this job for me, paid offf course.

I wash it once a week and wax when I notice the water isn't beading up. Regarding hired services, you might want to post on the Regional board. I did so and got a lot of great insight and info on local providers.

I wash at sunrise every Sunday morning (my favorite time of day) wax maybe once a month and spray detail in between those.

Weekly washing and monthly waxing on mine too.

I know what you mean about your back. I waxed the front half yesterday, today I'll do the back half.

I wash about every week and wax 3 or 4 times a year or before I go on a trip.
