You won't have to use the paint cleaner and polish every time you want to wax; these give you a good foundation the first time you wax. Applying just a topcoat of wax will probably take you 45 minutes. I re-apply wax every 3-4 weeks...personal preference.

BTW, car looks great.

looks nice!!

prob the easiest product that i know of is p21s- a carnuba. wipe on wipe off pretty much, but it is carnuba so only lasts a bit over a month or so.
synthetics will last longest but are usually a little more time to use.

keep up the good work- you are one of us now!

You shouldn't need to use the paint cleaner and polish each time you need to wax. I usually wax my car every 3-4 weeks depending on how much it rains during that time.

If you're really hardcore and get addicted to detailing your car, you can always get a Porter Cable polisher to cut down your application and buffing time.

so you should use a carnuba wax instead of the Meguiar's wax?

Not necessarily.

As wanabe said, "...prob the easiest product that i know of is p21s- a carnuba. wipe on wipe off pretty much, but it is carnuba so only lasts a bit over a month or so.
