I wash my car once a week. And I use Mother Spray wax after each wash. I wax the car at least twice a year. Once before summer and once before winter.

The best thing I have found for my car has been to use 3m products and use the handglaze then coat it in wax.. the glaze is awesome and will fill in any small scratches you have, however.. only do a very small section at a time or you will hate life trying to get it off!

Mr. Clean AutoDry Carwash...that thing is awesome! After you spray the soapy stuff on there, just use the little mit it comes with and scrub the crap out of it...plop in on the dry polymer rinse...BAM, clean car and not water spots.

Shiney Monkey products. The best I've used thus far...and I've tried EVERYTHING!

www.shineymonkey.com

These products are espcially good on black cars

I've had good luck with mothers (reflections?) spray on wax between washes. I use it every few days, especially if it rains. Keeps things real shiny.
