I maintain my car very well, however I have some questions on how often you should use some products.

For Example:

Hand Wash: Weekly

Wax: Every 2 Weeks

Polish/Swirl Remover (With Buffer): ????

Sealant: ????


If you guys could help or have any suggestions that would be great!

ps. I drive a firestorm frs if the color effects anything listed above.

sure thing

to what extent do you want to work on the car?

I would say wash every 1-2 weeks.

Wax every 3 months.

But its really going to depend on how you drive and store the car.

Tried using hand polish. Didn't work, you reckon a machine polish would work?

You can try Stoner's Tarminator

I applied Griot's glass sealant to my windshield back in June and its held up decently, except for the two lines where the wipers stop in the middle of their motion. I'd like to strip the rest of the windshield and start fresh. How do you recommend I should do this?

I just picked up my whiteout FR-S. My previous two cars were dark colors, this is my first light colored car. On the dark cars, I had been using carnuba waxes. What is a good mid-range sealant (or wax) to use on white?

Do you guys have any detailed write-ups or tutorials on interior cleaning/detailing? Looking for information specifically for an interior similar to FR-S, cloth seats, and the rubbery dash
