It is a general recommendation here on MOL to wash your car once a week. And it is also a general recommendation here to apply UQW right after your wash to reinforce the existing wax.
Living in dry Los Angeles, we are asked to conserve water in my townhouse complex wherever possible. I'm pretty diligent about regularly wiping my car down with UQD/#135, so I don't need to wash my car terribly often. To tell you the truth, I haven't washed my car in well over a month but it's getting around to that point.
The thing is, in that month, I haven't applied UQW to my car at all. Now the wax feels like it's "running off" (a slight hazy discoloration that shows up most prominently on the hood where the paint gets hotter than any other surface, and where regular mist and wipe products cannot remove), which indicates to me that I probably need a new coat of wax altogether. But after my next wash and wax, it could be up to another month before I wash my car again. Will I have to go through the entire rewax process then?
So what I would like to know is as the thread title states: can I apply UQW without having to wash my car first? Say, one or two weeks after I rewax, I wipe the car clean of debris with UQD/#135. Can I then spray on UQW to reinforce the wax? It is my hope that, if this is feasible, I'll be able to keep my car's wax looking sharp for two or more months instead of just one, with quick applications of UQW to go in between.
Thanks in advance.
