It should have read ,CAN'T. I can't attest to the durability because I wax or seal weekly.

Im bored.

Quote: so sealand lasts like 4-6 months and the soft wax should be good for like 2-4 weeks? does that sound about right?
1 coat of Pinnacle Souveran last me 3 weeks on my black car before I notice degradation.

I think 4-6 weeks is a better estimate for a soft wax.

I judge this by when things start to stick to the paint and the beading is spotty.

Whats the point of seal/wax every week? Isnt a sealant or a wax suppose to protect your cars paint for so many months. I just dont see why you would have to keep putting on coats every week.

I agree. What's the point of washing a car, applying sealant and wax... then washing it again the next week?
Wait a lil' longer between washes or just wash it when your car is actually dirty.

I hand wash all my cars each week. I end up waxing or sealing 2 of them. Every 5-6 months I polish regardless.

I just don't like them to look dirty. The paint is protected and it looks excellent, even shines through the dirt. If I see dust on the car after parking under a tee, Im cleaning it off.

More than half of my washes are with ONR. No hose.

If you love to do it, its not work at all.

I think most hard waxes last 3-4 weeks, some up to maybe 6. I just got the Dodo double wax. I'm going to be out of pocket for the next couple weeks due to a medical procedure but will be getting to work with the Dodo ASAP.

I've got Dodo Juice Supernatural wax. I applied it February 28th. It's still holding up. I've driven in the rain twice. Last time I drove in the rain was April 2nd. Water was still beading and falling off. Definitely an excellent wax. Gives incredible protection... but for how long... I'll eventually find out. Also gives a deep, warm, wet shine to DG. I'm very happy with this product.

Yeah it was for me too. I'm going to post a full review when I'm done. The plan is for two coats of hard and then two coats of soft.

Since it's so hard to get a good idea of wax quality you will have to rely on my review somewhat. I will make sure to post pics before/after.
