You'll need to reapply the wax about every other month to keep the paint looking this good, because the oils will start to leave the paint after only a few months. There is "NO" 6 month or a lasts forever sealent. They ALL need to be put back into the finish to keep that just waxed look. If you have a garage, then you extend the time between applications, but the more times that you wax it, the easier it becomes to put on and take off. Hope this helps, ED
She's wetsanding the car to prepare it for new paint......this has nothing to do with waxing or polishing existing paint.......
