Let me know you schedule if you would like...

Thanks
I normally wax cars every two or three months or when I start to see swirls. I live in Washington state, lots of rain, no closed garage, and gravel parking lot at work!!!


I use Meguiars Professional Products all applied by hand using Griot's Garage Accessories

I think I used to do it every other week. Now, I do it about twice a year.

I wash and dry the car ofcourse.

Then Sonus Stage 3 polish, then wax. I like to wax by hand rather than with the polisher.
