Best to ask these type questions over in the Car Care Discussion section of the Forum. Several very knowlegeable people and a few professional detailers hang out in that section and this been discussed there any number of times in the past.

Contact one of the moderators and they may move this thread for you.

Good luck.

Wash and wax about once every 3 or 4 weeks.

The only way you can "over wax" is by using a wax with cleaners and/or abrasives.

If you're using a quality wax/sealant (after proper prep work) and good washing/drying techniques and supplies, you shouldn't need to wax that often.

"Ray"
Try using a "spray detailer" after every wash and cut your waxings down to maybe ...every other week? They will give you the "slick feel" and only take a few minutes to apply with a plush microfiber. Use the search engine on this site for ...spray detailers.
