    Cool How often do you wax your vehicle

    Wash 1 or 2 times a week, wax every month and polish twice a year before that months waxing. My wife does her Trailblazer even more (she loves her Trailblazer).

    I detail quite often due to some of the environments my truck sits in. Steel mills are hell on paint.

    Wax........ Is that the stuff that the Karate Kid movies made famous?

    I cannot remember the last time I waxed a vehicle. Wash a few times a year.

    I am going to try and be more diligent with at least hosing the undercarriages this winter.

    Hmm, I didn't see an option for not even washing it. I've had my truck for over a year, and the rain and snow is all it gets.

    I was the outside weekly, wax monthly and usually polish in the spring and fall. I vaccuum the inside everytime i wash and usually every 2 weeks or so i get the armor all out and do a nice interior detail. the reason i dont do the interior more is because of being in the landscaping/construction line of work, as soon as i get in my truck at the end of the day its dusty on the inside lol. i need to buy a beater to drive to work and back so i can keep my truck clean....or better....convince work to give me a truck to drive home every night

    I wash weekely. Most of the time using a gas station's touchless drive through car wash.

    Detail every 4-6 months. Which includes Clay barring, polish, glaze, wax and sealant.

    I use a mixture of products between Zymol, Meguiars, Gloss-It and Pinnacle.
