Default Car Wax Poll

Well, how often?

Since I found Pinnacle Souverän and S100, I can easily
wax my RX 300 in less than 30 minutes...So why not, eh?

I haven't waxed my whole car in awhile. I usually wax a portion of the car every time i wash it. Hood one time , top of the car the next , and so on. In a months time i end up waxing the whole car. I just don't have time to spend 2 plus hrs waxing . But i promise to wash and wax the whole car next week. Fully detail it .

Paddy - I swear you have half your hard drive devoted to pics. Funny pic. though. Actually i just looked at my schedule next week and the wash and wax will have to wait till the end of the month.

I remember the times when i use to wash and wax every week . The good ole days. I have gotten soooooo lazy.

I apply a thin coat of Zaino Z5 about once a month and Z2 also about every 3 months.

I'm pretty certifiable when it comes to this stuff. I apply a coat of Z2 or Z5 just about every other night lately (last few months). I've had my pearl GS for 12 days now, and it "only" has 5 coats of Zaino. My black '89 Supercoupe has just over 100 layers of it now, but I show it about 2x a month at various shows. Zaino starts looking pretty amazing at this point.

I'm a detailer by profession BTW, and I guess it's become second nature to me. You think I'd be tired at the end of the day but...

I'll rest when I'm in the grave. Dan h

Heheh, Gman, I'll keep your schedule in mind with the next poll. I admit I'll wax my Lexus 2 days in a row. It just seems to achieve more eye-pop. I have even waxed my RX 3 times in a week, but it starts to look so good that people are drawn to it like moths to a flame...drawn to it like the the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel...drawn to it like the light of heaven itself. I can't allow these people near it for fear of them blinding themselves from the reflectivity and my facing numerous lawsuits.

I think for some people, present company included I guess, it's therapeutic and just plain old fun. I just really enjoy being out in the garage, my "domain" as it were. I wouldn't do it too often if it was drudgerous.

Like you said , the stares are worth the time involved IMO, and these cars deserve it too. Cheers Daddy-O.
