Summer time every 3 days maximum my car gets washed, waxed usually every month by hand and I use a sealer in between depending on how the weather has been, yes I have a problem but as long as I admit it then it's ok right???? hehehe

Nothing wrong with that Ken. No one should neglect their car Monte or not. Worth $100 or $100,000. I'm constantly cleaning mine as it is a daily driver.

I usually do a full detail once a year and wax the car myself every 6 months but since I live in AZ I was told do wax every month. I just got me a rotarty polisher so its going to be done quite often. I was always told to wax by hand and not by machine. That way you get a thicker coat of wax and not buff it thin. Surfcity Garage products has on their website what is called a "detail planner" and here is what it says on how often to do each.

Wash-Weekly
Polish Paint-Every 3-4 months
Seal Every 3-4 months
Wax/Glaze-Bi-monthly
Vinyl, Rubber & Trim-Weekly
Glass-Weekly
Underhood/Undercarriage-Monthly
Leather & Vinyl Care-Monthly
Interior Carpet & Upholstery-Weekly
Vacuum-Weekly
Tires & Wheels-Weekly
Polish Wheels-Monthly
Clean/Dress Tires-Monthly
Metal Polish-Monthly
