BSM Corolla LE 00, car waxing!?!

So I bought my 1st car, a blue streak metallic corolla LE! It's so shiny I heard that I need to keep waxing the car to maintain the glossy blue paint. Is it true? If so, NOW I'm totally lost! First off, when do I have to wax my BSM car, yearly? monthly? Should I do the wax myself? or have a professional do the waxing? If myself, what should I use as the wax (I hope its not too expensive!) or how much would a professional do it? I'm just curious, What would the car look like if it was never waxed?




I'm sorry the post is doubled.

I usually wax my car when water stops beading on the surface or when I have time to do it. I used to do it once every 3 months or so even though water still beaded. It really depends on the environment.

Wax gives a bit of a wet look, but it's protects the paint also. You can wax yourself or hire someone to do it for you. It's really up to you.

If it's so easy, you care to to explain how a user can delete their own thread?
