One of those bucket bottle holders for starters. Where'd you get it?

I use a Sun Joe pressure washer, TORQ cannon w/ CG honeydew and the air force master blaster. Infinite use detail juice here and there but that's about it. Haven't even touched the car since I clayed/sealed it.

No bucket.

I haven't sealed my car because I love to wax it every 3 weeks.

You mean you make swirls and remove clear.

In all seriousness...waxing every month is flat out ridiculous. You're literally doing more harm than good.

With correct technique and quality products, I respectfully disagree.

Friendly argument here

I can't agree with that. You could use prefect technique, the best products and microfiber and your still going to end up with swirls over time. The only way to eliminate them is to remove clear.

Avoiding physical contact with the paint is the best way to delay the inevitable. Waxing monthly speeds that process way up.
