Why not give mark underwood a ring. Always helpful and full of good advice.

Question

We've recently knocked down our garage, so when I change my car next, it will have to withstand the elements.

How often should I be looking at waxing/polishing/washing to keep it in A1 condition?

I plan to use the Waxwizard when it needs a really good going over.

Cheers,

C

Using WoW kit is the best start. For frequency I would re-iterate Chip's comments and speak to Mark, but I would...

Wash every week (non-detergent soap)
Wax once a month (front bumper/wing mirrors/lights/wheels every two weeks)
Polish/Cleanse once every 6 months.

Well you know those cossie guys, its cheaper to polish a cossie than it is to have it repaired all the time

Thanks, guys, for your comments.

Mark is the expert so I'll discuss with him.

Cheers,
