How Often Do You Wax Your Car?

[ice15]

Gaano kadalas ang minsan?

2X a year for me, early December and end of May.

Is once a month too much?

Depends on many factors:
- Environmental conditions encountered by your car
- The durability of the wax used
- Whether the paint was properly prepped before waxing
- Other factors which our Tsikot detailing gurus would know

Personally, I do it monthly, not because the car needs it, but because I find the process therapeutic.

Same thoughts bro, very therapeutic for me as well.

Also, since monthly naman tayo nagpapa-wax, i use ordinary wax lang.

Yup, that's also why I try out different brands and types of waxes/sealants. It IS very therapeutic, and it's one of the few "me-time" things that I do

So far pinaka okay na sealant was collinite from Big Bert's.

Not sure kung 915 or 476 yung gamit. Pero the water beading lasted for about 4 months.

for me, no. if you have the luxury of time to maintain your car with wax the better protection it will have against contaminants.

For me right now, since I'm applying a spray sealant after every wash that would depend how often I wash cars. But thats typically twice a week if I can make tiis. Hehe

Wax not so much na since durability doesn't last as long as sealants.

Correction is another topic altogether. Haha.

what car wax brand is best to use?

Try to acquire the Collinite 476 or 845. Both products last 3-6 months, even longer if garage queen. Tapos spray wax every couple of washes to maintain the base wax.

best is subjective. brands such as collinite, botny, meguiar's, turtle wax, chem guys are commonly used by members here. some use klasse and optimum aio's products. you can also choose between paste wax or in liquid/spray form. if you like boutique waxes, you can get in some local shops or buy online

better get the collinite 915 bro over the 476 for ease of use.

Paste wax (usually Meguiar's brand) every 3 months or so. Then, every few weeks, I use a spray n wipe carnauba wax.

I also use the spray n wipe wax on the windshield wiper arms, any chrome, glass, and the clear coat alloy wheels.

All Meguiar's products....including the car wash soap.

Before i was using mother’s products and currently i’m loving more the meguiar’s brand... same here pag may time ako i used paste and microfiber tower pero usually meguiars ultimate QD ako hehe... mas madali kasi lalo pag nagmamadali...

Yun nga lang, di mo ma iiwasan ang swirl, pero i think its normal for everyday car not unless garage queen or pang weekend car... as much as possible pa coat mo na... hehe...

I used to have a bunch of different brands. But, I settled on Meguiar's because the brand is everywhere. Plus, its products are clear coat/black trim-friendly and most likely will work well together.

Every car wash with Megs D156 Spray wax since I used it as a drying agent.

Regular wax once a month applied with a DA.

Every 3 months, 3 step? Use compound only when needed because it will make your clearcoat thinner.

Go with the least aggressive step muna. Try polishing muna. Usually it gets the job done na.

Ako once or twice a year lang mag-compound.

I bought this spray wax from MTX. I apply it weekly. It does its job for deep gloss shine.
