Default My Wax schedule

The frequency of my waxing depends on how often I wash the car. After every third or fouth wash job I apply a coat of Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 which in my option is great, goes on easy comes off easy and last thru at least 4 washes.
Twice a year I get out the clay bar.
This works for me, my problem is that in the summer time I wash the car at least twice a week, my neighbors think I am carzy because I was it so much but its fun and keeps me up to speed on the condition of the car.

Pretty much the same here. NXT every 3-4 weeks. Probably more than necessary, but hey...

I apply multiple coats of Zaino once a year.....which is plenty considering I only drive it about 5,000 miles per year.

Although, I do apply a spray detailer, alternating between Zaino & Meguiar's, at least once a week.

A couple times a month probably.I have just gotten my car used.I see some swirls on the rear deck.As soon as the weather breaks i will do a nice buff after a claybar job.Then i will chose something good to top it with.

Wolfgang Sealer 2x a year and monthly Wolfgang Fuzion Wax for the extra shine provided, it is really tough spending a 1/2 hour to wax monthly

I use Meguiar's NXT 2.0 wax two times a year and follow up in between waxs with Meguiar's ultimate quik detailer. This has always worked well for me with all my vehicles.

So I actually use mothers three step. The cleaner once or twice per yr. And then the sealer and carnuba wax together. I've always thought they had good products and used the same system on my C5. When I take the car cruising as stated it's only in good weather so when I get home I wipe the car down with the mother spray detailer and it suppose to preserve the wax a little longer. I'm hearing allot of talk on the zaino stuff. Can you buy it online? I know only certain dealers carry it. And if I decide to switch over what products do I need for a similar type system

I am changing up my routine, but I probably do more than necessary. For instance, zaino goes on/off so nices its almost as easy to do a quick nice coat as it is to do a spray detail! I am going to try the zaino base topped with souveran just for kicks. With souveran on/off, I figure I can do the vette in 15min... I got a plan... but it will have to wait till spring... my vette is napping now!!!

Black is such a PIA, but I am FINALLY starting to like it... but I will always love Yellow!

I clean and polymer whenever I feel like it/have some time.
In a April to November season, that's probably about 1x per month.

Blackfire Wet Diamond about once a month. Not because it needs more protection, but because I just love doing it.

Z8 at least once a week.
