i heard ppl said waxing car every week is bad and other ppl said waxing car every week is ok. so is it bad or wat?

 

waxing every week is fine, polishing/swirl removal should be done annually or when it needs it.

 

as long as your not using cleaner wax every week than your fine. cleaner wax actually removes a small layer of top coat everytime you use it. you dont really need to wax your car every week, but if your using a good wax that is making you happy with the result than have at it.

 

Thats a waste of time as well as waste of product. What kind of crap *** wax are you using that you have to reapply it every week?

 

True, true.....

 

If it keeps him in the garage and away from the wife, is it really a waste of time?

"But I can't mow the lawn / visit your parents / other crappy chore, I'm in the middle of waxing the car! Don't you want the paint to last?"

 

how about meguiars quick detailer every week?

 

Waxing every week is fine, I do it sometimes 2-3 times a week. In the Winter time when it needs it, the summer time i'll wax it less often since there are less harsh elements outside. I drive my ride 365 days a year.

The reason why people may be telling you it is bad because it seals in the pqaint, which does not allow much breathebility which may lead to paint cracking, i have not have any issues. Remeber wax is a sacrificial element, it sacrifces itself so your paint does not have to. The more harsh the elements the more often to wax.

Glaze on the other hand, such as Meguiar's No.7 showcar glaze can be applied unlimited amount of times because it allows the paint to breathe, it nourishes the paint instead of sealing it in such as a wax.

 

If you have fresh paint do NOT wax your car. It will seal in all the solvents that are trying to escape through the clear. And why do you have to wax your car 2-3 times a week (Rayz SI)???????

 

lol thats alot 2-3 time i do it once every other week

 

i hand wash 3 times a week and wax every sunday...then again i have ocd

 

Lol tell you the honest truth, i love waxing my cars it's meditating to massage the wax into the paint and wipe i off to a flawless finish, plus the salt, sand and dirt washes off like nothing!


Definatly true if the paint is new, do not wax till atleast a few months to allow the solvent to escape and paint to harden.

 

yup

 

In the spring/summer/fall when my car gets driven, it gets cleaned inside/out, and waxed every friday before i leave work.

In the winter, i only bring it out on nice days (when it running, this winter it is not) and clean it up/wax it every couple of weeks.

However, i use a polish not a wax, so it doesnt seal in the paint and still allows it to breathe.

 

how about quick deatiler would it still be ok for every week also?

 

Have you never heard of a paint sealant?

go to autopia and read up there absolutely no use for waxing that often.

Wax should be used to enhance the look of the vehicle not protect it. Use a sealant to protect your finish, then a caranuba wax to enhance it.

 

sheesh i don't even wash my *** that much
