My explorer gets washed once a year. Thats only after the winter to knock most of the salt off of it. The rest of the year the dirtier the better

I haven't waxed my car in over a year (let alone washed it myself)

I hate myself and the $1000's worth of detailing products I have.


I hate living in an apt complex

Looks good. Two words, though: Tire shine.

I'd hate to detail a truck. I hate doing my car and that RAM has like 11ty7 times the surface area my MS3 does!

Nice.

So there are 3 layers of wax? I didn't know you could do that.

I waxed my car, there are swirl marks all over it cause I got tired. So now I want to wax it again. Do I strip the old wax off with one of those clay bars? Or just wax over it?

its not zaino, its Meguiars Wax

i live in an apt as well CLpower but i go to my pops house, he has all the supplies.

Each wash and wax takes about 2.5/3 hours to complete, not too bad considering how much damn space there is to cover.

this truck aint 4x4, its gonna be a street truck, needs to stay clean.

i meant three seperate waxing sessions a week apart from eachother

I waxed my SSM CL-S maybe 3 or 4 times in 4 years, it stayed nice.

I've waxed my Subaru twice in 2.5 years, it looks nice too.
