That's Dave from Zymol right?? I won't necessarily disagree with Dave and Zymol, since their waxes are extremely potent as you will soon see.

However, from my experiences I will share the following:

1. Claying will only remove the surface contaminants. It will not deep clean the paint IMO; Thus polishing is a must in order to get the most out of the wax. You can have a choice of either hand polishing (if your paint is free from swirling or if you are concerned about clearcoat thinning), or my recommendation would be to machine polish the paint with your choice of a non-abrasive or a mildly abrasive polish, depending on the amount of swirling that you may have.

2. You will definitely see an improvement in the depth perception of your paint with additional layerings of wax. However, the color of your paint, as I've seen it, will be most vibrant with the first two or up to three layerings of an "EG" (glasur, concours, vintage, etc.). If you are good with keeping the paint clean with an occasional use of a quick detailer....a very high quality qd...stay away from the over the counter brands such as megs(no disrespect intended), then you can continue layering the wax for up to a year. As I've said earlier, my greatest finish strength for the signature car has been after 6 spaced out layerings, but then again my car has maintained its finish quality with as many as 10-11 well spaced out layerings. If your car isn't exposed to the elements and is kept relatively dry, then you won't really need a lot of layerings to maintain the finish. It will depend on what will look good to you, and of course how well your paint takes to the wax.
