Cleaner wax after every wash??

[ariezhai5]

Hello all, some questions pop up my mind and I need guidance from all of you.

So here`s the case.

I little bit addicted for waxing my car, everytime after wash it i applied car wax with my DA Polisher. I know it`s sounds overkill and wasting time also money, but i feel find my zen in applying wax. 😂 😂
My car is black Toyota Altis

My question is :
1. It`s that okay to applying wax after every wash? I always wash it at weekend.

2. I usually use cleaner wax (megs and turtle), i also have some dodo juice, Chemical guys and FK1000P, but i usually use that two because the price is less expensive, again it`s that could make some trouble in future?? Since i applied it after every wash

3. Which one is best way to apply wax? Using hand or machine? I actually prefer use DA for creating thin and even coat.

Any suggestions will be appreciated

1: yes- but I too may have a problem
2: I`d probably stay away from a cleaner wax if you desire to wax after every wash or every week
- have you considered a spray wax used as a drying aid?
3: whatever works best for you- as long as you`re using a soft non abrasive pad on the DA I see no issue applying wax via machine

Another vote for spray waxes as a great alternative to using a paste wax. They`re easy to use, helps with drying, provides a layer of protection, and *most* are less expensive then paste waxes.

Cleaner waxes really are (or functionally overlap with) mild polishes, and consequently are harder on your clearcoat than a true wax. Personally I would not do that with every wash, though it`s probably not something to worry about unless your clearcoat is really thin.

ariezhai5- I`m a little surprised you find joy in using those cleaner-waxes, which I never found very user-friendly, but hey...whatever makes ya happy.

And IME cleaner-waxes don`t protect very well and seldom look all that great (and I`m not the harshest judge of how waxes look).

If ya aren`t worried about protection/etching (never heard of a cleaner-wax being any good in those departments) there must be stuff that`s a lot better in pretty much every regard than TW or that Meguiars, oh...what is it?... uhm,...Meguiar`s A12. You should be able to find better stuff that works out to the same price range, at least if you buy smart.

With Toyota`s reputation for thin clear, I`d really want some better protection from etching. Using the Fk1000P seems a no-brainer to *me*, but I wouldn`t want to layer it forever and cleaning it off with just a cleaner-wax might be iffy.

Waxing every weekend is a problem?! I guess we need to have a come to Jesus meeting!

I do use spray waxes a lot for in between major waxing. But I use it every time I wash my car no doubt.

Thanks for response, didn`t though that bring more problems than solution. Any recommendations for spray waxes?? Using spray waxes for drying aid will be effected to towel absorbent??

for your black here`s my recommendation- in no particular order but I have used all these with great success on my black vehicle
Polish Angel Black Wulfenite or RapidWaxx
Wolfgang Fuzion spray wax
Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax
Poorboys QD+ (most economical of those and best bang for buck as well)

Use a spray on wax as a drying aid after the wash. This will maintain your LSP and give you your wax fix.

I use spray waxes as Drying Aids at many/?most? washes of my wife`s A8 (the whole car) and our other vehicles as well (at least on certain sections).

I prefer Optimum Car Wax on paint and lenses and Meguiar`s D156/Ultimate Quik Wax on black trim.

But IMO using such stuff isn`t the same experience as wax on/wax off.

No issues with it messing up my MF Drying Towels, but a) I only do it with Plush ones, not WWs, and b) I wash them promptly in HOT water with a good MF detergent. Eh, I always use *something* that could potentially mess up Drying Towels anyhow..if not a Spray Wax then a Rinseless Wash at QD strength (previously used leave-stuff-behind QDs for this), so the prompt/proper laundering is just part of my routine. But of course YMMV applies since there are a lotta variables when it comes to washing hydrophobic stuff out of MFs.
