    Sadly enough, I do it almost every week. Even though my wax can last a whole lot longer (ive seen it bead after 3 weeks of serious beating by mother nature)

    Well, I wish I could say I gave mine what I call a full detail once a month. However, with work, and everything else that goes on, I only get about 3 or 4 "complete" detailings of my vehicles each detailing season. Having said that, during the rest of the detailing season, my vehicle looks better than a lot of other vehicles on the road. Still, I wish I had more time to spend on detailing, and other things I enjoy!

    Oh if you mean complete details with swirl remover and everything, then that rarely happens. I usually just do a three step (cleaner, polish, sealant), and even then I may not have time to do the cleaner.

    Whenever I get a new product (usually a weekly thing) I test it out on my Jeep. Once I start I wind up busting out everything else and messin with the whole thing. If you`ve ever smoked crack then you know what I`m talking about. Just kidding. I usually do it once a month; maybe more if I go play in the dirt and put the 4x4 to use. However I do keep it looking tip-top on a daily basis.

    I have a monthly checklist that includes virtually everything I ever do to the truck and I do it every month. That includes everything from dusting to washing to waxing/sealing to engine cleaning to undercarraige cleaning. You name it and I probably do it once a month.

    I do something every day spending usually a 1/2 hour to an hour minimum every day with the minimum of attention being a dusting and usually a session with Poorboys Spray and Wipe, a dusting to the interior and maybe a vac session because of the dog. While he`s out running around the park I`ll be watching him and washing windows or wiping the engine or doing a S&W session etc.
    Dream big and be willing to do the work to get there.

    OK, I`ll admit it. Wax once a month. Wash weekly followed with a quick wax like platinum or mothers showtime. Gotta keep it looking good all the time. My neighbors think I need to admit myself to the Betty Ford Detailing Clinic!
