More than most, I always use Z8 or ZCS or Ultima PGP after each wash. Actual "wax" is usually around once a month I put a new coat on.

Well, I dunno if I really *like* to wax at all :p
But seriously, it depends on the wax and the vehicle but I don`t do it very often. I seldom do it until some characteristic that I value starts to drop off. Two examples:
I waxed the daily-driver Blazer last Sept. and put another coat of 476S on it in late May. I`ll probably put some more on it before winter but it sure doesn`t need it yet.
Last waxed my wife`s daily driver with #16 in early June and I redid the bumpercovers last week (those always need it first :nixweiss ).
Might be because we park inside, might be the gentle washes, who knows....but my LSPs seem to last a very, very long time.

I don`t wax too often, maybe every other month. I mostly seal.

Usually whenever I am not happy with the look, or if the protection is not sufficient anymore, all dependent on the previous wax applied of course.

That`s funny cause I`m the same as above. Usually w/ 26 it`s about a month before I notice a big drop in the look and re-apply.

I rarely have the time to wash let alone wax my car. I try to get in two coats of Collinite 476 or 845 every six months. I do wash the cars just about every weekend. I apply rain-x every month. I use FK 425 every third wash to spiff up the shine. But I have 4 kids at home so I try spend most of my time with them. My cars seem to do just fine with weekly washs and semi-yearly waxing. And if I had the extra time I probably would be out on the tennis court or golf course instead of waxing the car.:chuckle:
