Mark Underwood told me to just wash the car at least once a week and add a layer of wax one a month.

Towards the end of summer, try building up the wax by applying fortnightly to protect over the winter.

As BB,

I wash my car once a week and full wax once a month or every other week leading up to winter. I use the cleaner fluid twice a year once around april when the ****e weather has passed then end of Septemeber. Works for me.

Si.

When you rewaxed it did you use the paint rubber again just to get any spots off then wax, or just waxed it and they came off ?
I do like the idea of polishing it weekly to get some serious shine

Jas

The idea is to prepare the car by using the paint rubber, cleanser etc to get all the impurities off of the cars paintwork then seal it with the teflon wax. Following that all you will need to do is use the car bath regularly to take the surface dirt off the car.

An additional coat of wax every month is certainly a good idea.

The wax is just the icing on the cake, the real work goes into the preparation.

Hope this helps

regards

Neil

Having just purchased a Swissol polish starter kit I decided to use it yesterday. ( its the Teflon polish )
Really pleased with the results. In the book it gives you advice on how to get the best results, but doesn't seem to mention aftercare. Does the whole process need repeating every time (i.e paint rubber, cleaner fluid then wax, or is it possible to just use the paint rubber then wax straight away, if its been done before ? Or maybe just wax again and again to build up some coats ?

Any advice from anyone using this regularly would be appreciated on how to get the best results.

Cheers Jas
