How often do you wax your car?

After reading through the Zaino/Zymol/Meguiars threads about waxes & polishes, it occurred to me that though I think I keep my car pretty nice, there are some (?) here that are WAY more fussy than I am.

For the record, I wash every 2-3 weeks (mine is not a daily driver) and wax 2-3x/year.

It all depends. When the car sits under the cover for 10 day stretches I don't spend much time waxing. When I get caught in the rain, or drive a lot, or get bored because nothing is broken, then I do more waxing.

Usually I wax a panel or 2 everytime I wash the car... so I guess I'm constantly waxing.

Hell, I don't even have a garage. It's a utility machine, for the track and some road use. It sits under a car cover in our rural driveway most of the time and spends the snowy months in one of those tarpaulin sheds that I put up. I spend more time cleaning the engine and the interior than I'll ever spend on the paint.

Maybe I'll wax it before I put it up for sale.
