| | | 2006 Tacoma - Weekly Rinseless wash with optimum or DP4N1. Top with DG AW, RR, or Souveran Spray Wax. I usually polish once every six months. The spider webs and swirls begin to show about that time frame. I hit the windows outside everyweek with DG RR and hit the inside once a month. The interior stays decent so just a quick vac and dust wipe down and I'm done.

Vette 05 -- former daily driver, washed twice weekly while used as DD. Now sits in garage and winks at family. Still gets washed every other week and detailed about every 6-8 weeks with UPP/Souveran combo or UPP/Polycharger as wanted. |

| | | 2006 Mazdaspeed 6.
I try to do a weekly wash, but when busy with detailing find it tough to find the time. Full polish once a year if needed. Spot polishing when neccessary. Wax or seal...depends. I usually just keep some AW on top of whatever I last waxed/sealed it with until I have time to do a more thorough wax or seal. |
