Best paint protection combo? - 05-12-2004, 07:17 PM

I want to keep my car as long as I can
Am not very concerned how shiny/wet it looks
but I do want to protect the paint and try to keep it swirls free

Normally I use the following combination
Twice a year (fall/spring)
1. Wash with Downy dishwasher soap
2. Clay
3. Rinse
4. HiTemp LightCut Swirl remover applyed with an orbital buffer
5. AIO
6. Mother's pure carnauba wax using an orb. buffer

Every 3-4 monthes
1. Wash by hand with mother's car wash
2. Mother's pure carnauba wax using orb. buffer

Every 2 weeks
Wash it in touchless carwash.

Is it ok? I mean should I apply AIO more often, say, everytime I want to wax it? or maybe waxing is not necessary or even worse
wax simply removes AIO and I'm just wasting money and time?

Cheers,
Kapa6ac
