Use a polymer and it will last a year if garaged.

Exactly! It's called Rejex!

I usually go for twice a year, maybe 3 if it's a hard winter..
my first experience with Rejex here

I used to rub my butt off with wax for the same results except it was not nearly as durable.

Hi, Andy. I do more than once a year, but not because the Rejex has let me down. Every now and then, I just want to bond. We did my wife's new vehicle right after delivery in early June. We're taking it on the road for a couple of thousand miles so I washed it down. The Rejex was holding like I had just put it on. I went over the front surfaces, lights and windshield anyway to see if I could get them a little slicker for better gas mileage.

I actually Rejex every 3 months. Sometimes I do the hood and trunk every few weeks, but only because I am anal and have a Jet Black car that turns more heads constantly. Or it could be because I am addicted to my car and only can look at it clean and perfect. Regardless, it's really up to you, but Rejex is far easier than your standard wax. I used to be a Meguiars man, but not anymore.
