Can you ever over-wax your car, for instance is once a month a lot? Are there adverse effects of over-waxing?

Any input would be helpful.

 

I've seen people wax a car so often they start wearing the paint off the edges of the fenders.

 

there are various answers for this question . ..

no, once a month is not too much (in fact that is as long as some waxes last)

it also depends on the quality of the products you use . . wax/polish/cloth/mitts etc

one bad link in that chain and with lots of washing and detailing - you can adversely affect your cars finish

cheap waxes or polishes -
mis-applied products (or the wrong ones)
cheap quality wash material or methods
poor quality drying material or methods
etc etc

any of these can lead to swirls, mars - and just plain bad times.

does that help confuse or clear the issue ?

or do you have more specific questions / details you can offer us to reply back with?

 

No that was quite helpful, what brand of wax would you recommend and have you heard of Griots products?

Thanks for the input.

 

Well, I've had Zaino on for the last 6 months and it still beads very well...

 

How many coats of Zaino do you have? I have 19 and I wonder how long this will last?

 

I wax every 3-12 months, depending how much I like the car

Basically the front bumper and hood gets waxed twice as often, so that bugs don't stick so well.

After every wash I use spray wax detailing stuff to keep the protection almost as good as a waxing.

Eagle one wet look with teflon is what I like.

 

when i finished applying last fall - i had put on about 20 coats since spring . .

the car hasnt been touched since - (bad zaino guy) and when it rains, the water still does an excellent impression of something that doesnt want to be on my car.

i cant think there is much left on it right now though . . . so soon as i get a nie weekend - im going to ZFX myself into oblivion

 

What kind of spray wax do you use?
