Paint Maintenance?
What do you guys do to maintain the paint on your cars? I wash my car about once a week, but what else can I do to protect the paint, besides for buffs and waxes? Also, doesn't buffing your car thin the protective coat on your car?

clay bar every month or when needed, use the back of your hand and feel the paint after you wash it, when you feel bumps or things on the paint clay it. the use a polish (meguiars step 2) make sure the polish has no wax in it. ploish restores oils to the paint to keep it "young" then wax over that
