Depends on where it is parked or used, in an area of heavy industry or near railway lines may need doing monthly. Garaged and hardly left outside - never ;)
Use plenty of QD or a soapy water mix, as long as the surface is well lubricated, you keep kneading the clay to get a clean surface and the clay is warm and soft you will mimimize causing marring with it. If you drop it throw it away. No mater how careful you are claying tends to induce some...
For ultimate looks a good glaze and a decent Carnuba depending on Budget.
Swissvax Onyx, Chemical Guys 50/50 on a reasonable budget up to things kike Swissvax Best or Show at the high end of the price range
AG SRP and EGP or Klasse AIO and Jeffs Acyrlic Jett Sealant both work well topped with...
I have Carbon, Titanium, Concours and Destiny, each one so far bar the Destiny for me has been surpassed by the cheaper Swissvax equivilent to them. They do produce good results but are not the most user friendly products in the world.
My Swissvax Mystery turned up today so will give it a...
Fold the app in half and it will fit. The waxes go quite soft when warm, I tend to use my fingers to remove it from the tub and apply it to the applicator that way but I am a weirdo. Brazo looked at me funny when he saw me do it when at a detail together.
Not tried the 53 as I have loads of 50/50 left, much difference ?
BOS, Onyx, Saphir now they smell good !
Black LC or Sonus Blue 4 inch spot pads both work well and easily fit in the 16 tin.
50/50 looks very alike to the P21s to me, just lasts longer than the 2 weeks tops P21s, but over a sealant this is not an issue.. Neither smell nice though!
16 is a pain to use, only wax I use by PC to apply it super thin.
Dodo's are worth a look, the s**t marketing initally put me off, was...
Gold Class contains Cleaners so will remove some of the EGP so I would not recommend that.
No experience of the TW, but the fact it is called a polishing wax, suggests it also contains some polishing agents that will remove the EGP.
You don't need to put a wax over the EGP but it will add to...
The Jeffs will bond lovely over the SRP. It is basically a reformulated version of Klasse Sealant Glaze which is more user friendly and sprayable. Klasse SG is best looked at as the German Version of EGP. I have used the Jeffs AGT over Klasse AIO and Carlack 68 as well as SRP. All worked well.
As above means you can more easily feel anything stuck to the paint than you will with bare fingers.
The Clay wont have done anything for how shiny i is the polish will have done that all on its own. Despite the many threads on here saying it on here Claying can't make your car shiny...
The HD Cleanse leaves a great finish, better then the Swissvax Cleaner fluid, but is a right pain to use. It will remove most if not all of what is on the paint.
