    I wax my car every 2 weeks. I strip the wax and re-do it. Call me crazy

    I won't call you crazy. I'm guessing that you find the exercise therapeutic? Or is there some other reason?

    LOL, I knew I was going to step in it with that comment, the only thing I was waiting to hear was how many people had a different opinion.

    As I understand it, waxing too often is more from the perspective of it just not being necessary rather than it causing any kind of problem. It's a bonding experience for a lot of folks. But I've generally always felt bonded enough with bikes and cars to figure a good regular wash is sufficient to keep the relationship strong.

    I do enjoy doing it, and it is relaxing...yes, that is true.

    But the main reason is that the beading starts to break down ever-so slightly, I can notice when it does it and I love tight beading...so I just strip and throw on a new layer. Especially during the summer when the car was outside 24/7, I found this important as every 2-3 weeks the wax would start to break down

    Haha. I don't even wax my own cars, so I don't get a chance to bond. I also typically have someone else wash my cars, too. If my cars ever wanted to break up, I'd understand.

    Kyle, that works for me. Wax on, brother.

    Gorgeous car and great write-up. I've got the Pristine Clean but still need the Rejuvenator Oil. Also need to get on this before it's to cold to get the most out of it. Thanks for the trash bag and horse hair brush tips too, have beautiful fresh seats in my future!
