Is it ok if i wax it every month? is it gonna kill my cleat coat?
I can't stand to see my car dirty and not shining.

washing your car frequently is the BEST way to maintain your car's paint, so you're doing a good job there! just use microfibers so you dont scratch her up. if you want to wax it every month, you may want to remove the residual wax before applying another layer or before claying/paint cleaning. this is where dishwashing soap comes into play. dish soap actually cleans off the wax (they werent joking when they advertise "fights grease"). after using it, your car should be squeaky clean, and ready for any detail-work. if you want to maintain your polish/wax, DONT use dishwashing soap, like our dads and their dads used to do! i still know people who wash their cars with this stuff..old habits die hard!

from my personal experience, waxing over the old wax didnt do any harm, and still gave a brilliant gloss. if you do wax once a month, keep the application layer nice and thin, and it should wear away by the next month. man, i wish i had the time to do what you intend to do. you have a very lucky car my friend...

hahaha, being a family man, i pretty much signed over any free time of mine to the wifey and daughter. life is grand, dont get me wrong, but pampering the two women in my life leaves me too exhausted to pamper our "other" babies, at least not as frequently as you do!! happy detailing!!
