How often do you wax your car?

+1 to question

I wash my Niro pretty much every weekend. I will no longer toss money away at those clear coat swirling car washes!! I find it relaxing to spend 45 minutes, roll my kit outside and go for it! When I first got the car I detailed it myself and finished with a coating of Chemical Guys "Jet Seal" 1 yr. sealer! Good stuff!! Water rolls off her back just like a duck, that makes drying a breeze!
I use a Metro Vacuum B3-CD Air Force Blaster Dryer. Blows all the remaining water off the car in a snap. Then every other month I use the CG "Buttery Carnuba Wax", easy to apply & buff!! More good stuff!! Check these guys out, ChemicalGuys.com

 

Every 6 months. I could probably stretch it to yearly, but meh.

 

Do you avoid waxing the sensors all over the car?

 

My ambition is to do it twice a year; the reality is most years once.

If it is left to me I would never wash it except cleaning windows weekly.

But, I do 1 bucket wash monthly to keep my wife happy.

When walking past parked cars in the rain, you can very readilly tell which are waxed.

I wax mine every other month. Every 6 months, I finish the wax with a spray on detail. It has kept the paint really clean looking.

 

you forgot to add never to the options

 

Since we Prius owners can't do low 9's in the quarter mile, .......................we wax like crazy!

 

I do the Prius and the RX450h together every other month during the non rainy season months, so about 4 times a year.

Doing the Prius now and the RX later today.

 

When I was younger, a LOT more than now.
Probably every 2 months or less.
Now?
I try to wax every spring-for summer.
Every fall-for winter.

 

I always have good intentions about waxing regularly, but if I'm honest it usually happens twice a year in the spring and fall.

 

Nope, they get a wax job as well. Wax will DO NOTHING to interfere with those little sensors....

 

I would like to do it by hand more often. Now it only gets waxed at the car wash, which is minimal at most. I know the automatic washes don't do a very good job with all the angles and curves on the Prime.

Does it bead in the rain? Always a good sign.

 

By "wax" do you mean hand wax? If so, "never" would be my answer. I you include "wax" in the automatic car wash, then maybe once a month or longer depending on how badly I need to wash my car.

 

I am nearing 1 year and have not waxed the car. Can someone post what do I need to buy to do car wash and cleaning myself. I live in an apartment, so I am looking for portable items, so that I can do it outside.
