soap and wax combo....

[SSQ]

Hey guys,



I know you guys are probably gonna tell me to put my brain to good use, but....



I have been looking for a quick way to maintain the wax protection of the car between waxing. I have been waxing my car about every 3 months, usually with Klasse AIO, or recently, with NXT. In between the waxing, I wash once per two weeks, and use non-cleaner wax like turtle wax carnabua.



That was when I had a VW jetta. I new drive a midsize SUV, which is way bigger than the Jetta.



I am now looking for easier ways to maintain the protection on the car. Giving it NXT every 3 months shouldn't be a problem. But waxing it with real wax every two weeks will be harder now. I am now looking at some wash/wax combo like turtle wax and rainx, that claims to wax the car with the wash. Does those things help? I am also considering Eagle1 Wax as u Dry. Will any of those things help extend the life of wax protection?

What wax are you using every two weeks? Unless it is a cleaner wax it should last longer than that, 1-3 months, again depending on if your car is garaged, etc. If you can apply NXT every 2 months that would also be enough, no intermediate waxing needed.



But to answer your question specifically, I haven't used a wash/wax combo but have used EO Waxasudry. Gives an okay shine, real easy to use and probably protects 1-2 weeks.

I used to use stuff like turtle wax express shine or the rainx quick wax in between the 3 month intervals of waxing. But with an SUV, even that takes a while to do.
