Opinions on waxing Hey guys I am looking to get your opinions on this. First off my car is always garaged and I only drive it on sunny days when the roads are completely dry. I picked up a duster last year and I always start the season off by putting a strong coat of wax on the car then maintaining it with body gloss shine spray after dusting the car off. I use to wax the car once a month but I eventually decided that was too much. My question is how many times should I hand wax it? I was thinking since I last waxed in March I could do June, then September? Is three times a season enough or am I being lazy?
Thoughts and comments welcome.

Well first off don't use a duster. All your doing is marring the paint, and creating a bunch of little swirls/scratches. If you want to clean your car, don't dust it or use quick detailer, just wash it.
As far as waxing goes, it really depends on how long the specific product you use lasts on the paint.

I would use the Quick Detail but with a good microfiber towel. And some can actually leave behind the fine scratches/swirls. Best way to see if the towels your using will leave all that behind is take them and rub them on a blank cd and see if there's any type scratching. If so, then you'll know there not the ones for your car. I wax mine every other month and use the quick detail in between the times I wax. Mine doesn't sit in a garage like yours cause mines a DD for now but with how I clean mine up and what not, I've yet to have any problems with it.
