I wax the sides, front & back of car sitting in a chair -- much much easier

 

I think i should try that chair next time haha. Whats the average time it takes most of u guys to polish and wax

 

Wash, clay bar, wash and wax is a little over two hours.

 

I just waxed my recently acquired LS400 today using the chair -- it sure made it easy! I got the rocker panels with ease without hurting my knees, hips, back, neck or shoulders

I drove it through the $5.00 car wash and then waxed it later in the day. It took about 1 hour I'd say to wax it all.

I start by parking the car so one side is in perfect shade then I sit my trusty chair at one end of that side and start working my way down, over each of the 4 sections. Then I flip the car around and repeat. I then later get the front in the shade then the back (for the bumpers, grill, hood & trunk lid). I do the top last when the sun is almost down.

 

I'm in Southern Cal so the weather helps me keep car clean. I don't have a garage so I use a nice car cover. I'm also retired so the car sits a lot. When I wash it myself, I use a spray wax and apply it upper and lower body (using a different cloth for the lower body). Having the car detailed from time to time helps make the job easier too.

 

take the advice of the car detailer at one of the largest car dealerships in the United States, my friend Roscoe, if you want the baddest buffer on the block, it's only $179

Roscoe likes NuFinish paste for durability, and Meguiar's NXT Generation liquid for shine.

 

I don't wax the bottoms near as much as I do the top. I usually get lazy and just hit the roof, hood, trunk, and tops of fenders, doors, pillars, etc. Basically all the places that could fade from sun.

 

i wax it all everytime after a wash (everyweek)

I dont see whats the problem with hand wax. My car looks pretty good with that. Only once payed for a machined wax, but mines are still better
