I Use Meguiar's NXT, two coats every month keeps the car looking great.

Then I use a clean towl to dust it off, but water beads great no spots.

One coat doesn't really do it for me, I need two at least to have peace of mind driving through rain.

Depends on the weather where you live. Up nort here I really can't wax from late October till late March, so in Oct. I clay, polish, AIO and at least 2 layers of SG or UPP. These synthetic products hold up much better through the snow and salt.

In the warmer months, I wax about once every 4 weeks.

I wax almost every other week in season. In winter (Dec-Feb) I only get a couple coats on. I use Meguiers wax also. it never hurts to have many layers. I also recomend claying the car maybe once a year.
