Do you guys apply your coats, then after a few months strip, and redo? Or do any of you just top off with a fresh coat every 3-4 weeks for a while until the need to perform some correction.

I use klasse, but I just top off. However, next year I will give a good wash with citrus wash and gloss diluted to heavily clean before I re-seal.

Top off unless polishing... in which case the LSP will be removed while polishing.

I'll strip once a year. Why? Makes sense to give it a stabile platform to work off of. But think how many people never strip... Now I use DuPont wax and grease remover.. Or if I polish, then that will eliminate it

Sometime once a year but mostly twice a year once at the beginning of spring/summer than that last warm day or weekend before the harsh cold

Top off usually. Polish 2x/ year.

This is what I do as well.

When I strip, I'll use a paint cleaner or cleaner wax in the Fall and do a full polishing in the Spring. In between, I'll usually top off every other wash...or when I feel like it.

I strip then clay, correct (if necessary), polish and then sealant and wax. I do this 2 times a year (this summer 2 times to try new product). IMO this is the only way to make sure your ride is clean.

After that putting on a wax 1 time every month is what I do until I am ready for the semi annual stripping.
