What year/make do you drive, and what is your personal care routine? Wash/Wax/Polish frequency and products used!

2006 Tacoma - Weekly Rinseless wash with optimum or DP4N1. Top with DG AW, RR, or Souveran Spray Wax. I usually polish once every six months. The spider webs and swirls begin to show about that time frame. I hit the windows outside everyweek with DG RR and hit the inside once a month. The interior stays decent so just a quick vac and dust wipe down and I'm done.

[Sevenrd]

2006 Mazdaspeed 6.

I try to do a weekly wash, but when busy with detailing find it tough to find the time. Full polish once a year if needed. Spot polishing when neccessary. Wax or seal...depends. I usually just keep some AW on top of whatever I last waxed/sealed it with until I have time to do a more thorough wax or seal.

 

[Z06-Goose]

02 Z06 wash every time a get a chance. I do the interior every other month, the exterior gets washed weekly. As far as polishing it, I do that every 6 months. Once before Winter, and once in the Spring.
My routine in-between is do do a full wash, paint cleaning, glaze, and Sealant

Menzerna and Prima Swirl are my polishes of choice

 

[supercharged]

Infiniti I30t - (daily driver) washed weekly/bi-weekly (whenever I have time, or feel it is dirty), always use QD after washing. Wax every 3 months or so. Interior - once a month (protectant), every 3 months full interior detail (leather/vinyl cleaning, conditioning).
Acura RL - is on the same schedule.

 

[tod071]

Lexus RX400h, I usually give it a weekly wipedown with PB Spray & Wipe, then DG AW. I usually give it a conventional wash every other week or if it gets really dirty. Wax every time I get a new one . Interior gets a wipedown about every 2 weeks.
