    How often to re-apply WDGPS3.0?

    Hi guys!

    Kind of new at this, and still learning. Recently I detailed my 2006 Toyota Highlander with a wash, clay bar, Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 and two coats of WDGPS3.0

    I'd love to have that buttery satin finish last forever - so how do I do that?

    I am thinking about re-applying WDGPS3.0 periodically after a wash to get that buttery satin finish back.

    How often? Every three months? Every month?

    Is there a better way to achieve that I want.

    The car is a daily driver and parked outside so it will get abused. I wash it every two weeks, more often if needed.

    Thanks for the help!

    Michael

    I think he means, how often does he have to re apply the WDGPS3.0 before it drops off and begins to allow contaminants to start bonding on his buttery satin finish he's currently enjoying on day 1.

    @OP. I wish I could help answer your question, but I don't even know what that acronym means. I'm guessing it's something Wolfgang?
    Btw, I think you're asking a great question. Smart thinking.

    Ahh thanks. I had been sort of wondering in the back of my mind what it could possibly be without cheating and looking it up. I began to think it might not be Wolfgang based on the WD.

    Re: How often to re-apply WDGPS3.0?

    The first thing that comes to mind is to start using a "spray wax" for maintenance after washes (now that you have a nice base of sealant applied). Doing so will greatly extend the longevity of your sealant. I'd look into the WG Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant or WG Instant Detail Spritz. Im not sure which would be best, as I've not used them. Hopefully someone else will chime in

    What kind of longevity do you typically get using this method? Meaning how long from the point where you've clayed and layed down your base on smooth paint, till you clay again?

    I do my 2 daily drivers twice a year. Once before winter & once after. I'll clay, compound if necessary, polish, & seal. WDGPS 3.0 is one of the sealants I use, with Menz PL being the other. I'll throw a coat of carnauba on top every couple of months as a refresher.

    Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant

    Apply when the finish is looking like it needs a refresh. Basicaly just about the same as WDGPS only in liquid form.

    Griots Garage Spray-On Wax 35 oz.

    Use the above after each maintenance wash. It will EXTEND the looks and protection of your WDGPS.

    No need to overthink it. Any quality sealant should last 6 months. Twice a year is a good yardstick. Spring and fall.

    And if you feel the need to top the WDGPS...

    Wolfgang Fuzion Spray Wax offers extended wax protection that was previously not available in a spray!

    ^This.

    I haven't used it but I would think that 6 months would not be unreasonable. I use their Spritz Sealant and it's a very nice maintainance product. Does not streak and be used on just about everything.

    But washing it regularly will help remove things that may eventually bond to the paint.
