Re: am i over waxing?
really depends on the wax.
With some waxes it is necessary to strip the old wax off before applying. Some waxes recommend multiple coats

Re: am i over waxing?
So, why do you wax your car every 2 weeks??
I would say that if your car seems to need waxing that often, I would use a different wax.

Re: am i over waxing?
Are you Waxing or Polishing? There is a difference.
Check your bottle and see if it is actually wax or not. Polishing adds no protection from the elements wereas wax does

I can believe that. Zaino Wax lasts on my car about 5-6 weeks. Recently I used that Meguiars NXT wax and after 3 weeks, roof, hood, and hatch areas on my car needed waxing again. |

Re: am i over waxing?
I use either Meguiars gold class or Zymol. I have heard good stuff about the Zaino, any links to some? I am excited, tomorrow I am going to do the Meguiars 3 step process on the '02 and my wifes 4Runner! Never tried that setup before, anxious to see if it does well...
