    Four times a year.

    You would be suprised just how quickly your car will pick up above surface bonded contaminants. Especially if your not washing often, like in the winter.

    I also like to clay everytime I wax to ensure my choice of wax or sealant bonds to the paint.


    Maybe I am just too picky. :smile:

    I would say at least 4 times a year. I basically do it every time I wax.

    That is about the same boat I am in. 1) I don`t like running a machine over the paint without first removing any possible contaminants and 2) I don`t like the idea of sealing contaminants to the paint.
