Survey: How often do you wax? What brand do you use?
Hi all,
I was just wondering how often everyone waxes and what kind of wax they use (company). Also if it is a paste or liquid or whatever. Thanx. I use Mothers Gold, Carnuaba (sp?) cleaner wax in liquid form. I wax about every 1.5 - 2 months.

Raindance, once a month,
Why anyone buys anything more expensive is beyond me - this stuff is easy to apply, easy to remove, and lasts a long time. Plus the car looks incredible afterwards. JaMa |

Zymol once a month. That stuff rules. If you do a lot of driving in the country, and you get lots of bugs on your girl, they just melt off with a high pressure washer.
On another note, I just found another scratch on my car from a$$hole soccer mom's and their POSUV's. I hope the government does force FORD to recall all those exploders. It would give me a grin. |

every few months with RainX wax. I see people waxing every week or month, but I feel that it's a bit too much for me. But, it sure keeps the car look good.

A good professional detailer's wax job will last about 4-6 mos in SoCal. I prefer to use Meguire's or Mother's Show N Shine spray polish to maintain the paint between details. It's good for removing bugs and grime off the paint too (no harsh chemicals).

For those of you that are anal retentive use a wax called Klasse All-In-One Polish and Sealant. It works wonders. It costs about $20 a bottle but the bottle will last a couple years. The wax lasts almost 6 months too.
Check out www.properautocare.com for all kinds of wax ideas. |

I use Meguirs 3 step wax. I would say I wax my car about every 2 months. I don't really have the time to get it done as much as I want.

I worked for Long Island Detailing for 2 years. ZYMOL Natural Creme Wax, Once a month. I live by it. Great Shine, Ultra smooth, and actually smells great. Its fairly easy to take off and easy to see spots you missed.

Griots, great stuff. But I am curious about Zaino's, it seems to have almost a cult following.

3 times a year. Sometimes 4.
I've been using either Pinnacle Carnauba or Meguires Medallion. Happy with both but recently switched to Griots Best of Show for no particular reason. One thing I hate about the cheap waxes is that they leave the white residue in all the nooks and crannies and if you get it on the black vinyl or rubber trim it is very difficult to get off. |

Normally I use 3M wax, but I just put a coat of Liquid Glass on the car.
It's nothing to write home about (other than its trademark ease of use,) but the rims...oh man, this stuff will make your rims look brand new. Seriously. Personally, I think it's less the wax and more the application which determines how good your car looks...that's why a professionally detailed car is so difficult to match by a guy in his driveway. |

Every month with Zymol. It smells so good you would want to eat it . All natural too with no chemicals. Once you use it, you never use anything else.
