    I have only waxed my black BMW twice, most recently about two weeks ago. I used Blitz wax the first time, then p21s this time (to avoid wax stains on black trim). Each time I`ve waxed I`ve also used 3M IHG first.



    My questions:



    I`m interested in waxing more often, but do I need to use a polish/glaze each time prior to waxing?



    How soon would an additional coat of p21s be beneficial? Would I notice an appreciable difference if I waxed every two or four weeks? (without the polish/glaze)



    Would a coat of Blitz over the p21s be stupid?



    thanks in advance!

    You do not need to use a polish/glaze and then a wax. Provided the car is clean you can just wax.





    Every 4 weeks should be OK unless the ecar is very epxosed to the elements.



    If the wax has no cleaners, no real benefit in doing mre than 2 coats - 24 hours apart to give first coat of wax time to cure.

    Consecutive coats of wax don`t add alot to the protection. The effect is more like creating an even layer of protection. So, not a bad thing but it`s not like you get twice the protection as carnuaba can`t be layered.



    And, yes, Blitz over P21S is silly.
    There are only three things you need to know about me. Gloss, Gloss, GLOSS!!
