I have a 3-step system from Meguiar's, and was wondering what you guys would say about how often I should use the system of A. Paint Cleaner, B. Polish, and C. Wax... It's an 04' with great paint, no oxidation and I recently clar-barred it.

I live in Seattle, and it rains alot!... SO, maybe I need to polish/wax it more than the average locale? Also, do I need to use the paint cleaner/polish each time I wax? Or can I JUST use the wax? It's tech wax 2.0 (gives a nice finish).

Thanks for any advice!

 

If you use a really polish. Most people detail there car 2-4 times a year.

you can use steps one and two as needed or as often as you choose (once a year to as often as once a day). if you use the 3rd step which is the wax you will want to reapply at least once per month. if you are looking for long term durability in your protection step look into their sealants. #20 polymer sealant and #21 synthetic sealant would be your best bet.

if you are looking to remove scratches and swirls you can try scratchx, #80 speed glaze, #9 swirl remover, or the new d151 paint recondition creme. just remember that when using these products by hand to put some passion behind the pad.
