Kinda curious to how often you wax. I've always done it in the beginning of summer, and end of fall. But then I read people do it every 2 weeks! Seems overkill to me. So just wondering what everyone does, and if I should be doing it more often.

2. late spring

you know if you think about it in a sick and twisted way...this thread should really be in the dungeon.

Depends on what is being waxed

I have a black car; arguably the worst to maintain the finish on.

I use a quality paste wax 2/3 times a year - after a major toothbrush/soft scrub brush/microfiber towel wash.

However, Eagle One (I think) makes a "wax as you dry" spray-on that is phenomenal as an inbetween-good wax detailing wax spray. I wash the car, rinse it good, then spritz this stuff on sparingly as I towel off the car. It leaves no swirl (unless I'm stupid enough to do it in the direct sun), no haze, no white stuff, and it leaves a phenomenal and smooth finish behind. I use it every other time I wash the car because its so easy to do.

I also use the supposedly "wash/wax" combo car wash liquid, but it really does nothing as far as leaving any type of finish behind - that is why I got the spray after reading about it in a restorer's mag.
