    Looks like you have a lot of time to be able to wax your car once a week
    But once a month should be sufficient. You can use detailing spray in between waxes. I don't know if it is available there but I personally use Wax as you Dry by Eagle One in between waxes.

    it's counterproductive to wax once a week. if you really, really want to make sure you always have wax on your ride, then maybe you should - especially if you live in an area of the Philippines that has extreme temperatures, climate changes, and pollution.

    but that's a huge waste of time. i agree with the above poster that once a month is more than enough, and even once a quarter would be ok, especially if you're using sealants before you wax.

    you can wash and wax it as often as you want.. but yeah, i agree with the posters above... once or twice a month is enough, especially if you have it washed 2-3 times a week. just make sure to use a car shampoo that doesn't strip the wax from your paint.

    also try to always park where its shaded na lang para di kumapit yung rain/watermarks sa paint. pag di maulan.. if available there, use a California Car Duster to remove the dust, then Use a Quick Detailer.

    if you have the tools (example a buffer) and the time, ok lang once a week.
    but imho, twice or once a month is ok. in between waxings, use a quick detailer.
