Waxing your FRS/BRZ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Dino451 · 09-14-2013, 01:31 PM

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?

every two to three weeks... LOL im not sure if thats the right way to do it but ive gotten in the habit of doing it and it keeps my car clean and it feels nice too :P

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.

I use adam's polishes. Typically clay, polish seal and wax twice a year.

Turtle Wax Ice, and I'm due for another coat. Want to get it done before the weather changes!

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

There's a forum for this.

Cool I'll check it out.

Meguiars Ultimate Quick Detailer and Ultimate Quik Wax, about once a month after a wash.

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.

optimum car wax for me....i'm pretty lazy.

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