Hey, I'm not trying to bash, but you guys that wax your car twice a week, did you ever think all that rubbing during wax application could actually cause scratches, marring, or excessive wearing of the clear coat? I mean, if you wax twice a week, that's about 100 times a year. In a perfect world there would be no dust or dirt on the paint or the applicator each time during the whole process, but we all know the world isn't perfect. We also know that, depending on the applicator and the paint, that some clear coats can just visibly scratch from wiping them with foam or microfiber, depending on a lot of variables. And, even water applied on a foam pad using a DA has some cut, as remember, aggressiveness is determined by pad and polish. Could all this waxing be prematurely wearing out the clear coat? Also, are you doing a 2 bucket wash prior to each wax? That would mean in two years, you paint would be rubbed down by a micro fiber applicator or foam applicator and a wash mitt 200 times! Does anyone consider this could actually be bad for paint?? Also, just wondering, when you switch up to different waxes, are you stripping the old wax with something, or just applying a different wax on top of the old? Comments appreciated. Thanks.
I always do a two bucket wash prior to waxing. My spare tire mobile has been clayed, polished, and sealed prior to waxing. I've already been warned about rubbing all the paint off.
Bob, I'm still collecting donations for some dope boy rims. Do you need my PayPal addy?
