how often do you wax your car?

How often does everyone wax their car??????

My truck gets waxed about 12 times a year once a month

About the same, I would guess. Whenever it looks like they need it, or I think it is time. I do use a Quick Detailer about every other day, sometimes daily. Go over the car with a California Car Duster, then the Quick Detailer and they look great. Probably cuts my washing close to half.

Edit: After some thought, I would have to revise the frequency of waxing. It's probably around 60 to 90 days between waxing rather than my original guess of 30.

every three weeks, or three car washes.
A good way to test it to see if water bead up on the paint.

i do my car with liquid glass every 3-4 months. if you just use ordinary paste wax, then you would have to do it every month as wax washes off easy...

3-4step process every 6 months with sealer instead of wax. Apply sealant spray monthly - wash/vac weekly
