Geez, I'm just messing with you. If you want to spend more time and money to make your car shiny, go for it. I was just making a point about waxes and the marketing ploys used to sell them.
The fact is, wax is sticky. It builds up just like floor or furniture wax, and that's why it has to be redone. It protects by actually forming a layer on top of the paint so all the gunk sits on the wax, not the paint.
I use a synthetic liquid polymer. It's a totally different concept. It doesn't cover the paint, but bonds to it. It makes the surface super slick, so nothing, including water can stick to it. Everything just runs off like a Teflon frying pan. Because of this, the car needs to be washed less, and in between washes can simply be rinsed off. Most polymers also have UV inhibitors in them.
There are paste polymers, too, but I like the liquid. The best part of liquid polymers is that they get applied to every surface, including the glass and all those nooks and crannys that wax can't go. So not only does my paint stay cleaner than with a wax, but so do the windows, trim, wheels, exhaust tips, urethane, etc.
Just my preference, so I thought I'd shoot it out there. I have a lot of ideas that no one else thinks of. Some great, others, not so much. But, I like to share either way just in case it helps someone.
Don't give in to hate. Let's all have a CX9 owners barbecue and swap wiv....err stories.
