How often do you wax your 7

I wax mine at least once a month and my clear coat is flaking on the top. Just want to keep my black 7 looking as good as possible. Or at least what good paint she has left.

I wish i had gotten my car before the clearcoat started to peel. It would still look like the day it came from the factory!! Damn old people don't get out in the heat and wax there car.

some people think need to understand that 7's need to be garaged or have a car cover at least if parked outside!

I drive to much to cover mine. I'd be taking it off every thirty minutes or so if I did. I put about 25k miles on my car a year. And I still live at home so my mom has the garage.

I've waxed mine twice in 2 years. The car was garaged for the first 12 years of its life though. The paint looks like its 3-5 years old, not 14 years old. Still glossy everywhere, very few chips and scratchs.

well the paint on my T2 isnt worth the effort of waxing. so ill go by what i did with my old car. i waxed every week. id do a complete detail inside and out every friday afternoon. wash, polish, wax, tire stuff all for outside. vaccum, leather food, etc on inside. it was a lot of work but i had/have one of the cleanest 944 around. ill do like that with my FC after its painted and all purdy and stuff
