I don't really wax, just wash once in a while
I go through the carwash - wash and wax
I hand wash - soap only
I hand wash - soap and wax
I hand wash - soap, wax, polishes and more
I detail once or twice per year along with washing
I detail several times per year along with washing



Just curous how often do folks wash, wax and detail their vehicle. Feel free to check off whatever fields apply.

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.
When you hear hoofbeats, look for horses not zebras.
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![]()
