Default What is best way to maintain a good wax job?

Ok, so what do I do between major clean, polish and wax jobs to maintain the shine? Add more wax? More polish? What?

Using products all from the same manufacturer will help whatever product you use last longer, manufacturers spend a lot of money to get all their products to work with each other (i.e. wax, wash and detail sprays) as said some detail sprays will add protection to your wax which will help it last longer.

High quality wash and high quality QD will really help to maintain your wax/sealant.

Look for one with some added protection. Fav's are Pinnacles Crystal Mist, Sonus Acrylic Spritz, DP Finish Spray, Four Star Gloss Enhancer and Zaino Z8. These would cover most every line.

Use C. Mist to keep the wax up in between waxings...also good for cleaning up finger prints around the door handles
