Waxing

I had a couple questions about waxing. I was wondering how often everyone waxes their cars? Is is bad to wax it too much? Just trying to get some info. since I have OCD. Thanks in advance.

theres only 1 consequence to waxing to much....
and thats that you will start to see wax residue on your paint because it might be on there too thick.

but basically theres almost no such thing as waxing to much.
I like to use mothers carnuba about once a month, and a spray wax once a week.

(not including the car wash "wax" that you spray on with the pressure washer)

Well, I'm not talking about waxing once a week or anything. It's been a month and a half or two. I thought you were supposed to do it every three months or so. I've got the nxt tech wax. It is the ****.

There's never a consequence to proper waxing. Just make sure you use correct techniques with proper and clean tools. Otherwise you will just be doing more harm than good.

depends on how much you drive/wash your car i suppose
it wont hurt your car to wax it more than that though
your paint job loves wax

I've got a buffer and a fresh pad to wax with. I shouldn't have any problems with doing it the proper way. Just didn't want to harm it by waxing it too much.

Wax really makes this thing shine. Once a month will about do it, and it's best to clean the wax off before applying a new coat, and that can be done by using dish soap (yes like dawn). This will take the wax off, make sure you wax after this otherwise it leaves the body vulnerable. Wash with dish soap, apply wax, rub off, and watch it shine in the sun. For casual washes be sure to use car wash that promises to keep wax protection.

meguilars is an awesome brand of wax (a lil expense), and it's good old fashioned wax on, wax off.

get some tire shine and blind people with beauty

Used to work at a private detailer

PS. be sure to completely dry your car after washing it (this should be obvious)
