How Many Times?

I was just wondering HONESTLY how many times do you walk around your vehicle (after waxing) with your microfiber in your hand before you say to yourself I AM FINISHED....................... ....I will go first about 20x before I walk away

after you wax it, take a QD spray and walk around once with that, and you will know that all of the residue is removed and you can walk away happy. Keeping wiping the paint over and over increases the chance that you are inducing micromarring into the finish that you just worked so hard to accomplish!

I say about 20 times myself. Honestly, it is getting quite insane. I am always thinking that I am not doing a good enough job and I have to look over my work. The problem is that, this is making my details take alot longer.

I am talkin about wax in little areas that you missed while removing...........door cracks, molding.front plate.fog lights.That is why I go around the vehicle noumorus times

4 or 5 times. I take my time when I wax, so the majority of the areas I will usually catch between the second and the final wipe-down.

Let`s just say I wear ruts in the concrete going back over cars making sure I didn`t miss anything.

I`m always focusing on getting it perfect the first time. What helps me "not miss anything" is intense Zen like concentration on seams, borders, edges and gaps that define the open flat void areas. The this and the that of the ten thousand things....When there is peace in the Kingdom all bellys are full...He alone seems to be doing nothing and listens to the sound of one MF flapping.

....OK, sometiimes I miss something.

If I DO miss something it is in the open...flat...obvious areas.

So, I go around and around and around and around making sure I get the obvious areas. :nixweiss
