Is it better to wax it yourself or go through the car wash and get the wax spray stuff? Also what else should you put on your car (polish, etc?) and how often should you wax your car to protect against scratches?

I dont wax my car. Maybe im stupid. Maybe im "in denial." Maybe my car doesnt wanna be waxed. Maybe i dont need to listen to that type of propaganda! Maybe i will be my own HUMAN BEING and live a NORMAL life WITHOUT THE USE OF government officials brainwashing me!

But yeah, no i dont wax my car.

I wax it a few times during the summer. Looks a lot cleaner, stays clean longer, and it's easier to clean the next time. I don't even both washing (much less waxing) in the winter...

i haven't washed my car in at least two years, let alone wax it, so I'm probably not the person to ask. It's a honda. It's basic transportation. I don't care that much about it or how it looks.

My steps for cleaning my car: (all done by hand, machines aren't usually thorough enough)

1. Wash Car with water, soap, than water again

2. Windex windows inside and out (do not do this in sun) if you have tented windows make sure windex is safe for that (will say so on bottle)

3. Vaccum inside of car

4. Polish the dashboard

5. I dont need to do this but if you have leather seats you need to clean those with a moisturizer

6. Wax car (don't do this in sun)

Never. I have to force myself to even wash my car. It seems like every time I wash it, there's rain the next day.
