there's not any sort of problem with waxin and claying often ^

i clay quarterly, and wax every 2 months or so seeing as i use collinite 845 insulator wax which is known for its superb durability.

what is a high brand? Collinite 845 was originally designed for commercial use for power companies to apply to their work trucks and for boating applications, etc. One of those most durable carnauba-based waxes out there, and also one of the cheapest.

I use different combinations between red moose glaze, natty's blue paste wax, DP Spray sealant, and Aquawax, and of course Klasse AIO. Inside gets Meg's APC once in a while, 303 aerospace protectant, and weekly touch ups with meg's quik interior detailer.

Stoner's Invisible Glass on the windows + Cobra WW glass towels.

Wash is done via MF wash mitt, two bucket method, and meg's deep crystal (yea, I know... but it was all that was there at the time)...

I don't need to clay too often because I don't drive too much and try to keep the car clean.

Tires get EO wheel/tire cleaner plus meg's tire brush plus rubbermaid wheel brush once in a while. Sealed with DP Spray sealant and just washed weekly via regular car wash solution and old body brush (that is used only on wheels/wheel wells/tires).

I also bought a gallon of ONR so that will become my new quick detailer.
