Always do your wheels first, rinse the water out, then do the body. Why would you let your body panels sit and dry while you do your wheels?

What i usually do when using a hose-rinse method is do the entire body, dry car, clean/rinse wheels. Touch up any wet spots on paint.

If i'm using Optimum No rinse, I do the entire car and then move to the wheels.

If i'm doing two cars I do one car's body, then the tires, and then the tires on the 2nd car. Then I rinse out the bucket, get new water/soap in, and then do the 2nd car's body.

How long does it last? I use klasse and while it's a PITA to buff, it says it lasts 4-6 months.

I'm not sure how long its supposed to last. Some say "Months" but I don't believe it for a wax. So I apply every time I wash...usually. Always beads up.

When I used Klasse....I usually did it twice a year (Fall/Spring), and then waxed the car every so often. I think if you do Klasse every 6 months, keep the car clean, and apply a spray wax every other car wash or so you'll be very well protected. I did similar to my old car and after 4 years the paint still looked new.

You can find the Aquawax at carquest.

I'm not a fan of shiny tires. I like them to have a nice dark sheen without being over the top glossy.
