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.

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.

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.

Ako every other week(I use cheap wax - Botny). Then spray wax/detailer in between of those.
Exercise na din kasi kaya ginaganahan

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.

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.

wala naman problem if you hand buff. beading assesment and need-clay assessment are some things you can study...

[ninjababez]

may negative effect ba pag lage nag wwax? spray? or un parang botny?

only if you dont know how to. both car washing and waxing (polish etc.) can introduce micro scratches if youre not careful

[jeff2d]

what car wax brand is best to use?

[Jun aka Pekto]

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.
