this thing told me to Polish my car 9 times a year! and to wax 10 times a year!! Now I take care of my car extremely well (to the point where my neighbors think I have a problem) but there is NO way I will ever polish and wax 10 times a year. What a scam, completely ridiculous, these greedy bastards aren't selling enough wax already that they need to tell people this crap to try and sell more. I'm gonna start using 3M products from now on.

They're not trying to scam you out of money, it just doesn't last long enough. It told me that I need to use it at least once a month, which is about what I've found to be true when I used it. Any other carnuba based product is just about the same. That's when I switched to Zaino...

I wash my car at least once a week and wax it about once a month. My car also looks VERY pearly compared to any other 96 Pearl White max I've ever seen! I also used to work at a detail shop, so I can wash and wax my car in about 25 min using my buffer.

The last time I did that thing (which has been a couple of years), I entered a ZIP code of '00000' and it told me the same thing as when I filled a bunch of info out.
