when to wax

Here in FL once a month is hardly overkill if you want your vehicle to look its best. (Not sure where you're located or if your vehicles sits outside most of the time.)



Personally I prefer paint sealants over waxes because they last a great deal longer.



If I were to have a favorite wax it would be a toss up between Pinnacle Souveran and P21S 100%.
 
You can never wax too much, using common sense and practicality.



I wax my DD every month or so, sometimes more often when testing new products.



I use PB Nattys Blue, NXT 2, EX-P, XMT 180, and recently, Z2, UPGP and Supernatural
 
We have two vehicles in our household.



For my solid black car, I have been using several different waxes over the past year. My favorites (right now) are: Souveran, Fuzion, Harly Wax, NXT and Reflections. During the winter months I used Collinite 845 and was very pleased. I tend to wax it once a month during the non-winter months.



For my wife's metallic spruce green daily driver, I have been using Ultima Paint Guard Plus. It is so incredibly easy to apply, and I like the look. I am going to stick with UPGP for her car. I wax/seal it every two months or so.
 
I wax whenever some characteristic that I value drops off below the level I consider acceptable. This is always slickness or beading as I never let things go to the point that the appearance has obviously deteriorated.



Which wax depends on the vehicle; all ours have different stuff on them and I often use something else on the few vehicles I do for others. The durability ranges from almost every other wash (Souveran on the Jag) to many months (476S and layered KSG).
 
I don't think there can be too much wax on a car, unless it's in a showroom and you wax it everyday for months on end. Every other car wash, or after heavy rain, is usually what I try to stick to, but it's not always practical.
 
using Klasse SG over AIO



Nov to March, every 6 weeks or so...usually 2 coats

Apr to Oct, every 2 months

stripped once a year



the car(s) are garage kept and washed/rinsed weekly
 
I wax every time I wash the car (1-2 weeks). I restart the full protection process every month or so. Its fun to see great looks and beading :)



Call me OCD if you like but I have enough waxes to last me for a very long time :D
 
You can wax as often as you want.



I test products on my truck, for high end work I use Swissvax for lower end work I use Optimum Spray Wax and for now I use Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 for a sealant.
