Question is... How often and what brand wax should I use to just keep my truck clean and protected? I guess just like maintenance waxing. I dont necessarily need a "show room" look every time. Thanks for the info!!!!!!!!!!
One more question for ya. My wheels look absolutely horrible. The crome is dull and hazy. Anyway, I tried a little bit of mothers in one spot and that worked great. My wheels unfortunately have many nooks, crannys and holes to them and using mothers would take forever. Is there some kind of miracle spray that would get the wheels shining again or am I going to have to suffer and wax each one?
P.S. After reading this thread that I just wrote ive come to realize that Im just lazy! lol!! I want the good looks but dont want to spend too much time on it. Oh well!
Peace out!

Thanks for the reply
Thank you all for your help. I decided to wax with the Meguires #26 and it worked great. Someday I might venture out and try something else but for now I am going to keep using Meguires #26. It went on and off with ease and the truck is smooth and looks great. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!1

I just spent 7.5 years battling my Cobra trying to keep it in "car show" condition while putting 88,900 miles on it and parking outside in an apartment complex.
I'm now in a 1-Step Waxer's Anonymous program now (vs 12-Step AA)
Still I counted ~10 products I've used on my "new" truck in the first week ... and I'm only using Clay and Cleaner/Wax (and Showtime) on the paint because I'm "not going to try to keep the truck as clean as I did the Cobra".
What I found was none of my neighbors, etc. can tell they still think I'm doing the 3-Step based on their comments and it's even WHITE like my Cobra was.
If someone is not going to do Shows I think a 1-Step is all they need.
I know, Heresey ... don't burn me at the stake
