Just wondering how often you guys wax your car? I typically wash my car weekly and wax it every other was ie. 4 washes per month, 2 waxes a ,month. is this too excessive to wax?

i usually wax the hood ,top, and trunk a lil more often/heavier than the rest of teh body parts.

you should be good. what kind of wax are you using? just don't use dawn or any other dish detergent or the wax will strip.

Seriously, I wash my car about 3 times a week.
What gets me is when I see another car that just came from the carwash that looks all clean and spotless. Then I'm like, ok after work time to hit the wash.
I normally wax about 1 a month. But I use that Meguires quick detailer abour twice a week. It makes your car look as if you've just waxed it.

we in the same boat man. i get jealous when i see another car. i wish i could wash it more often but the mrs. puts a limit on how much outside of her time i can spend with the accord and being a newlywed.......... you know how it goes.

i use the meguairs in the burgandy jar, comes with a lil a lil applicator. i have had this wax for nearly a year and a half, lasts much longer than the bottled form i used to use.
