Full wash/chamoi/clay bar/wax/interior clean at
least once a month.

Clay bar once a month.
Wax every 2 weeks.
Exterior shampoo/chamoi weekly or day after it rains.
Interior once a week.

summer for me...winter time i just towel up the interior to avoid salts soaking into the carpet then when summer comes around shampoo interior. exterior just wash on a regular basis and wax occasionally.

Clay bar twice a year, start and end of summer.

Wax entire car once every month or so. Wax the carbon fiber, and roof every couple weeks.

Car wash every other day :rofl: :rofl: or atleast it seems like that. Probably more like once a week in the summer and every couple weeks in the winter when it warms up.

i wax my car with the good stuff (mothers brand wax) > every 2-3 months in the summer.. so usually i get in 2-3 waxes that way.. then every time i go to the car wash, i put a coat of wax using the spray option at most self car washes << this usually during the winter, since it too cold to do it @ home.

whenever I get a different car (which seems to be fairly often) I do the full claybar, polish, wax, interior, engine bay, etc. Then just maintain it all as needed.

11 people voted that they would like to, but don't have the knowledge.

:( That is really why I wanted to run a Meguiar's Detailing Class, but they seem to have forgotten about me.
