How many coats of wax and how often?
my dad is always telling me i wax my car too oftenand i'm curious as to what you guys do.
I wax every other wash,and put one coat on . . .and i clay my car about 2 times a year
how often do you guys wax your cars and how many coats do you apply? do you go in a circular motion when applying or do you go up and down/ side to side?

i normally wax it when the paint starts to feel a little ruff i has alot of wax on it now seeing how i have been try a new wax
but you cant really wax to much the more you do it the better you protect the paint

as often as you wax your paint must look great and it sounds like it's going to stay that way. keep up the good work.
wax back and fourth, not in a circular motion. i'd clay a little more often if i was you. i like to do it 3+ times a year, but then again i drive a lot and i can't stand my paint unless it's perfectly smooth

I'm not arguing it, I am just curious.

If you are using a carnauba wax I would do that about every month just to be safe. You will get more durability out of a sealant and don't have to do that as often.
If you are going to layer a wax make sure that it is a pure carnauba wax and doesn't have any cleaners in it. If it has cleaners you are going to strip off your previous layer everytime. You can layer a pure carnauba as much as you like.

Any reasoning for this?

that and it uses less wax because you're not overlapping

we'll hypothetically every time you wax the paint should be completely contaminant free, so it shouldn't matter which motion you use but, more times than not the average person will leave behind tiny pieces of dirt and wax over them. obviously they'll create swirls. i'd personally rather have the longer fine scratches than a ton of swirls.
