How often do you guys wax your cars? How soon do you wax them? I heard it's not good to wax them before 20k miles because off the whole ToyoGaurd stuff... any info would be appreciated...

 

Since I live in SoCal....

Only Once a yr!....or maybe Twice!....

Depends where U live!....if your by the Ocean U need to wax More often!....same goes if u live where it Snows..

 

every 3 months or so.

 

Best things to do...

First clay your car, may be like every 6-8 months to remove all the fall out, then apply a carnuba wax about twice a year, and the rest of the year apply just a polish like crystal shine or film cleaner, if you need specific names let me know. But a polish is not a wax, but it sure shines the hell out of a car.

Let me know if you need details, I use to work for a company that preps cars for photoshoots, and commercials, so I know a few things here and there.

Take care

 

Geezs thats to much Wax dude!...lol....

U should just use Spray Wax w/ a Microfiber towel....

 

^^ lol well it's more like I polish every 3 months and wax every 6. ICE isn't really a wax; it's a synthetic polish.

 

I usually wax mine about 2-4 times a month. Clay bar...usually 3 times every 6 months.

 

lol every 3months is alot?? lol in the summer maybe every 3 weeks by hand. In the winter I just get the wax at the car wash but that isn't so good.

 

i wax mine at least once a month when i have the chance. i claybar the car about every 2-3 months.

 

Yea it is!....for living in SoCal...lol

I hand wax & claybar maybe like Once a yr...Maybe Twice

I usually clean my car everyday buy using Spray Wax w/ a Microfiber towel!...

 

whats a good clay bar to use, the only one i know of is by ice, wand what are the steps never used a clay before

 

macquires, or w.e it smells tasty

 

I normally use Clay Magic. You can find it at Autozone or at www.clay-magic.com they sell a bunch of kits there.

I normally clay my car twice a year, I live in cali so there's a lot of fall out collected on the paint. I then wax the car with a carnuba after every clay, then just use a polish every month, keeps the paint super shiny. Use good polish though, something like Crystal Shine by Car Brite. And I agree to dry wash your car with a spray wax, but don't be fooled, that spray wax really doesn't do anything for the car, its just a good way of washing your car without water.

 

You should wax your car till about a year after you bought your car(if you bought it new). The paint is not fully cured untill then and you risk damaging the paint. After the year passed, I wax my car ever few months. It all depends really on what kind of conditions and enviroment your car is in on a day to day basis.

 

it does lol

 

meguirs works like a charm........

 

I clayed my car for the first time after a year,
I wax once a every 1-2 weeks with liquid wax.

I dont like seeing the car not look like its freshly waxed.

I used turtle wax ICE but it doesnt really shine the car like a wax job, it just makes it looks like I went over it with a spray detailer. Using ICE on the car (bottle says its a synthetic polish, more like soapy oil) doesnt create the reflections I know the cars oem paint can look like

can someone define polish to me? Isnt it an abrasive so using a polish often starts eating away clearcoat? if i have a wrong understanding please someone explain.

 

Everytime Im going to wax I clay bar it first so depending whats going on I usually do it 2 or 3 times a month. Also I go by touch of the car if it feels rough bam clay and wax. oh meguiars ftmfw

 

I gave away all of my Meguiar's products. Found something better, longer lasting, glossier, and more of an in depth shine.

 

well whats it called?
