How often to strip wax?
How often should be using a wax stripper product like CG's Clean Slate in terms of number of wax applications? I live in AZ and my car is outside all the time, so I'm in the habit of waxing every three-four months for protection. After how many waxings should I use this?
Thanks!

I'd suggest moving to something more resilient like a sealant that will be able to take the intense AZ sun and last longer. You can also layer those up for more durability.

Thanks to all for the advice and counsel. I use a spray sealant/detailer after every wash and the shine is holding up very well. I wax every 3-4 months more for the therapy than because the shine is dulling. Occasionally, I have washed my car because it was actually dirty.

Most of those spray-on waxes and quick detail products don't last very long. They're intended for touch-ups. As I said, look at moving to sealants and similar longer-lasting products so you are spending less time waxing and more time driving.

I’ve had a great results as well with chemical guys jet seal. Also paste waxes seems to last longer then spray or liquid form. If you’re not doing clay, correction and polish, I would use a sealant and then top it off with good paste wax

So >> use a strip wash shampoo like Clean Slate >> Clay (only if it needs it) and polish if you're able to >> then a sealant like Jet Seal >> then wax if you want to go the extra mile |

Loving the new Sonax Spray and Seal. Already went through a bottle. Water beading is insane. Very easy to apply. Highly recommended.
With all the new things out, waxing is dead imo. |
