When should I wax or polish?

Clear coat paints make it more difficult to determine when your car needs waxing or polishing. It may need attention far sooner that its appearance would indicate.

Two simple tests can tell you if your car needs waxing:
 

Wad a clean, dry terry cloth, and rub it along a clean upper surface of your car. If you hear squeaking, that's a sure sign you need to wax.
After washing and drying your car, take your hand and run your fingertips along the upper surfaces of your car's hood and boot. If you detect rough spots or feel drag, you also know you need to wax (using a cleaner wax). Or if the problem is more severe, you will need to deep-surface prep the paint prior to waxing, using a product such as Meguiar's Scratch X.

The best solution is to get on a regular maintenance schedule. Your personalised paint care prescription will suggest one that's right for your car.
