Sealant. Sealant you should use every 6 months.

You should wax about once a month.

I used to cover my car when I didn't need to drive it every day.

Then frequent washes, similar to what you already do.

Now I have a garage to keep two of them in, because nothing you can do will give you the peace of mind (and nice place to work) a garage will. My Civic still sits outside, but that doesn't bother me as much. I imagine I'll have a tough decision when I replace it with something nicer and don't have enough garage space to go around. Maybe building a second garage?

I never wash my bugeye, when people ask why it's so dirty I tell them it's a rally car

My car is black, so I wash it once a week, polish every 1-2 months and a claybar once every 6 months. Once a year I take the wheels off and give them a good scrub inside and out.

My paint is already faded and fucked (luckily no clearcoat to peel, so it just looks like an old chalkboard where the sun hits it) so all I do is wash it every couple of weeks and put a sunshade in the windshield.

I use all Griot's products and am really happy with how they work. I have their 6" random orbital, a bunch of pads, and machine polish 1-4.

Whats the guideline for waxing? I remember my dad waxing his truck every week when he got it new back in 00'. If you could only see how the hood looked like after 16 years.
