Is Car Wax required?

RE: Is Car Wax required?
Your idea of a never waxed car with 12 year old paint in "great condition" is a far cry from mine. I can't even imagine a car that abused. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for sure. Saying wax or sealant (paint protection) is not required is dead wrong. I'll bet not one person here would agree with that.

Anything beyond what I've included here, I'd expect would be paid for by a professinal detailer.
Another point that hasn't been mentioned. To the OP: Get a package of 16x16 microfiber cloths for detailing and buffing. Wet Paint requires 2 terry cloth rags/towels.
After you get the searer/wax that you desire, use detailer spray for normal cleaning and wash soap for when the car is really dirty. Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss is the easiest that I've found; Maguire's Ultimate Kwik Detailer is easy, but a little more difficult, but it gives the paint a Rain-Ex like water repellant effect; Mothers has a nicer shine than the previous 2, but takes a little effort and 2 rags; Voodoo Mojo has an excellent finish but also requires 2 rags and I like to buff it with a microfiber afterward (after the first 5 minutes, Mojo's spray sucks, but the product still works great).

Thanks everyone for the info. It was very helpful. Wet paint looks easy to use. I might try that.
