wheres the sun gone!!! no sunshine today, so better pics will have to wait for next time i think!

Can anyone tell me what i should be doing for regular washes? If im washing every weekend, should i need to use glaze and wax everytime? or if using a mild shampoo should i only need to wax (and glaze occasionally) or what?? Im presuming claying only needs to be done a few times a year?

cheers
