Waxing every other week is overkill. If I wanted to, I could get 3 months out of #16 or Klasse SG...but I have fun putting more on!

Also, I know not many people outside of regular detailers do this, but twice a year I polish my car with something like Poorboys SSR2.5. I get out a lot of the minor scratches and the swirl marks. I don't know, it's a hobby for me. I'm sure you could clay and polish your car before 5 star to get the car great looking, and protected for a long time.
