Err, not so much. Even with some of the best LSP's out there, 6 months maybe.

Most LSP's are 2-3 months at best. Granted Megs 16, Collinite could get you buy with 2-3 apps per year.

IMHO, if you need to add wax again, its time for a full detail.

Agreed. But you have to take into consideration that 90% of cars on the road don't even see the one wax a year

YIKES! Get a quality car wash soap! Like meg's gold class! Ahhhh. Dish wash soap strips the wax off your car, if you use dish soap.. Wax after EVERY wash.

HAHA i just have to say meguires all the way, i got a kit for cristmas with like 9 peices in it from the tech wax all the ay to the tire cleaner and the stuff is amazing... I went out and bought the MR CLEAN auto dry thingy the more expensive one and i say it does jsut what it says no need for drying ( if you do it right) but it does seem to leave a resadue that i wipe off but its much better then drying and the resedue could be the pollen from the trees also ... who knows i just know that not much can beat a freshly waxed black F150

as a humble lurking learner, what you state interests me. Gold Class has been my garage, 2 coats 4-5 times a year. would #26 be better? Florida sun is unforgiving.

Try NXT 2.0. GREAT durability. Then top that with #26.
Just wait 12 hours to apply the 26 after you do the NXT (so it can cure).

Youll be amazed with the results! I know i was.
