Like a wax at a cheap autocar wash, detailing shop, or a DIY? Does it really matter?

If you're not using fleetwax you should be doing it way more.

Very hard wax that survives ALOT. You'll let a spot get too dry and pay for it lol.

In order of durability, paint protection film > ceramic coating > sealant > wax. PPF isn't worth it unless it's a really high-end car IMO. If you care about your car, I'd get it detailed professionally and have it ceramic coated. I personally don't really care, so I just wash it really well once or twice a year, clay bar it, polish it using Rupes sealant.

Our versions of “don’t really care” are very different. My car gets washed when it rains, plus maybe three times yearly of actual soap and a sponge, and the rust just adds character. In the past I have tried to care for so many cars, and no matter my effort, the rust just finds a way. ::sigh::

A large amount of effort barely affects resale value so who cares. Bottom of my priorities list

Hahah I neglected to mention. I’ll do maybe once a month through a touch less wash and a good DIY 2 bucket wash twice a year.

Detail or DIY. Carwash style doesn't get an even or deep protective coat. Plus all the grit in the brushes at a car wash will damage your paint.
