  • is there such thing as applying wax too frequently?

    I wash my black chevy tahoe every weekend and usually use the quik wax spray about 2-3 times a month. About once every other month I use show car glaze #7 (polish). If I used the quik wax spray every weekend, would that be bad for the paint? It's just that it looks too good when I wax it and just washing the car looks good but the quik wax spray just adds that clean mirror effect. thanks

    I usually wash my car weekly. If I use GC wash, I would apply UQW. If I use UWW, then no UQW.
    I wax my car every 3-4 weeks.

    However, I do the full 5-step every year. The clay and UC will remove all wax; much like starting over again.

      Weekly wash=good

      no spray wax every weekend would not be bad, it would be good

      I would say that you are polishing too much
      It should not need it that often

      You should not need to polish that much if you are doing the other steps right
      proper soap
      grit guards
      clean and proper mit,bone,sponge
      clean and proper drying tools
      quality microfiber

      I would say that NO, it is not possible to over wax and cause issues assuming you are doing the steps correctly
      Though it is a waste of product and time

      hopefully that helps, if you have any more questions, fire away
      What part of southern california are you from?

        UQW is only a wax booster.
        You should wax (NXT, UW, etc) at least every 3 months. Then apply UQW after each wash to boost the shine and extend the longevity of the wax.

          I wax my car at least monthly, and use UQW after every weekly wash in between. You're not hurting anything, just extending the longevity of the "base" coat of wax.

            think of UQW and Synthetic X-press spray wax like a 300 shot of nitrous oxide
            they are great when added to a motor but by themselves dont do much

            spraywaxs for paints=chemical induction for motor
