Default 3M IHG should be done about twice a year...

Once in the spring and once in the fall. It "refreshes" the paint and should be used to remove MINOR imperfections such as oxidation, acid rain/water spots, swirl marks, and light surfaces scratches. If you have no imperfections in your car's finish, there is no need to use IHG - straight wax is all you need. As most of you already know, IHG contains no wax or silicone and must be followed by wax (like One Grand Blitz wax).

If you wash your car often and keep it outdoors (no garage), waxing often is no problem, but rather a good thing. The environment and wash detergents breaks down the wax over time.
