Waxing your FRS/BRZ?
Just wondering how many times a year you wax your FRS/BRZ?
Did mine a week after I got it and might do it again sometime near the end of the year. Oh what brand/type do you use?

Lol, I don't think there's such thing as waxing the car too much. I would too if I had the time and not always feeling lazy.

Ive seen the Turtle Wax Ice at Target and thought about getting it. Hows that working out for you? I used Maguieres Gold for the first wax in August.

I just started using smart wax and I have to say much better than the McGuires and any other wax I've used, the wash, wax and detail spray are really good in my book

I try to wash weekly, wax every three weeks, and polish every 3 months during the spring summer and fall. I'll wash, polish, and use a longer lasting wax than carnauba at the end of fall and just run it through a touchless car wash every few weeks until it warms up again.

All depends on what you use. I use collonite 845, so once a month for me. I wash it weekly so the whole process when I wax takes about an hour and a half. Normally, I wash the car in 30 minutes or so.

Waxing is unnecessary with modern paints. Just wash and drive.
