Just a question, how often do you put wax ? Is it safe to put some every time you wash your car? They say you should put some twice a year.

There is no need to do this. Can you expand on why you would want to?

I wouldn't recommend waxing the car every time you wash. The more you touch the paint the more you will swirl and scratch it. If you want a boost after the wash I recommed using a spray wax with a dedicated buffing towel. This means don't buff your car with a microfiber towel. There is a glut of that product on the market right now and all the stores and websites want you to buy it all up.
Autopia sells an excellent Concours buffing towel.
microfiber is for cleaning not buffing, really overkill for a well maintained Porsche.

If you are using the Klasse, the Sonus spritz will keep the shine gorgeous with regular use.

Good stuff.

I recently switched to the Klasse All In One, its some really great stuff for sure! Then a coat of P21S Carnauba , and it glows like red candy! Great stuff, and extremely easy and efficient to use...a little goes a LONG way!

Just detail spray after that!

When you all are waxing...do you use the Mr Miagi special or do you do it differently? For some reason...that just doesn't sound right. Mind in the gutter....

Don't do the Miagi routnie unless you want swirls. Just apply in a motion going from front to back, back to front. Remove whatever you put on with a microfibre towell (cut off the tag if it comes with one). See the pics I just posted in the "Concourse" area.
