Default Quick question regarding waxing

In November I detailed my car with the Klasse All in One followed by the sealant.

The weather in the past month has been brutal in Toronto (lots of snow, salt, slush etc.) and I've been spraying it twice per week at the car wash bay. Today, the roads are somewhat clean so I spent some more time there and washed it properly with a sheepskin mitt.

Question is, should I wax it again today since I have the opportunity or leave it until spring?

If I should wax it, should I do the all in one or the sealant? I don't have the time to apply both.

Thanks

It depends on what type of wax you use.

Synthetic wax will last longer.

Carnauba wax will last only a few weeks,but will provide better shine. (like P21S Carnauba wax)

I like Meguiar's #26 wax which is a combo of both of the above.

* Do not apply wax unless you washed the car first.
