So true! It’s almost therapeutic. Plus, the neighbors will be asking about your car’s shine!

Using a circular motion when applying wax helps to evenly distribute it. Just make sure not to apply too much pressure!

Also, think about the weather! Waxing on a sunny day can cause the product to dry too quickly. Go for a cooler, cloudy day.

That’s a good point. Additionally, have you guys ever tried spraying wax? It’s easier and can be just as effective!

I’ve heard good things about Meguiar’s and Turtle Wax. They seem to be crowd favorites!

I recommend using a high-quality wax cleaner like Meguiar’s or Chemical Guys. They not only give a great shine but are easy to apply. Make sure to wash your car regularly to maintain that shine!

Absolutely! After waxing, I wash my car every two weeks using a pH-balanced car soap to avoid stripping the wax.

It’s also helpful to apply a spray sealant after washing. It can extend the life of your wax and adds extra protection. Just make sure to follow the instructions for best results!

Great tip! Do you use the spray sealant after every wash or just occasionally?

33

I usually apply the spray sealant every other wash. Keeps my car looking shiny without too much effort!

34

Make sure you’re using microfiber towels for drying. They’re gentle on the paint and help prevent scratches!

35

I can definitely second that! I’ve noticed a huge difference since switching from regular towels.

36

For reapplication frequency, I’d say every 3-6 months is a good rule of thumb, depending on weather conditions. Frequent washes can wear the wax down faster.

What about if you live in a rainy area? Should you apply wax more often?

38

In rainy conditions, I’d suggest checking the wax every couple of months. If it looks dull, it’s time to reapply.

Also, don’t forget about the wheels! They need protection too. I use a dedicated wheel wax for that extra shine.

That’s a fun idea! I never thought about treating my wheels the same way.
