hello i am a body man and painter if i may to tell you the truth you dont want to wax your car more than about once a month, paint is like your skin and can get cloged up over time with old wax and dirt and in the long run cause rust and other problems the best thing to do is clay bar it will remove all the old waxes and other contamenents in the paint after you clay bar just use a very lite wax  :y

When water stops beading up on your paintwork, it is time to start waxing. How often should you wax and is it possible to reinstate the water beading property?

How often depends on the quality of protector, weather conditions , road conditions, your washing water and where you keep the car..

for a sunny very hot climate, the wax is lost approx after 15-20 days ..

a car used daily on a very rainy climate and facing acidic mud mixtures also can keep max 30 days..

if you have a habit of parking car under a tree  which is also home of birds maximum half hour ;D :y

I normally wax them within 20-30 days intervals depending on the weather and season..
