Topping Off Throughout the Year??

[galaxy]

What are you guys doing for maintenance and touch ups throughout the year??

My typical spring cleaning recipe is a good polish to get the surface perfect followed by a coat or two of BFWD and then topped with either XMT 180 or SSII. I swapped to XMT because I found the appearance to be every bit as good as the SSII, but with a bit more durabilty.

But for my question, it seems to me, at least has been my experiences, that neither one of these products like to be applied to anything less than a perfect surface. After a month or two and a few washes (or as soon as I start to notice my water beading qualities fading), I like to re-apply a nice easy coat of something. But when I do this with either one of these products, it never seems to achieve the same results as it did when applied on a fully prepped surface.

I hate to "go there", but I never experienced this back when I was using Mothers. I could reapply whenever, and the performance would hang around.

Just curious what you guys do in between those spring cleaning jobs. Thanks guys!

But…I guess it wouldn't hurt, nor take a lot of time to run over it with something like XMT 360 before adding another layer of the 180, hu?? That'd probably be a good recipe?

I do know what you mean, I started using crystal seal or a spray wax to maintain. I felt that the Souveran spray wax is a great topper, with the looks of a nice paste wax.

I love the products on AG but I felt like I got the same results as some of the OTC products I use to use but now I look at the time factor and BF makes the job a lot easier. I would use Megs NXT 2.0 every month and the finish was great.
