re: Waxing a vehicle

I admit to being lazy with it. Really end up waxing about once a year (and bring it somewhere to get it done). I do think paint holds up very well now, so you don't have a lot to worry about with most cars. But, there is not doubt that regular waxing will make your car MUCH easier to clean. Keeping a good wax job makes bugs wash off easier, dirt rinse off easier, and does help protect from the sun (although I do think most paints are better at protecting from that now).
