I stalk Rich, it's not real lucrative but it fills the day, and he's quicker than he looks so I get plenty of exercise. I take pride in a job well done 

If you have a vehicle without leather and you like the smell you can load up one of the foam blocks with leather conditioner and put it under the seat.

Go to your room !!!

Welcome to the forum Tyler 

If using proper washing technique then, as other have already stated, once a year or every other year. Those quick wiped owns with DS here and there and even with the best wash technique you are still touching the paint so there is opportunity to induce some swirls. My last vette went 3 years between polishing once., and it didn't really need it, i just wanted to do it lol
 
So once you have the paint where you want it just do your normal washing and waxing and you should be good for a long while.
 
Unless it's black then the job is never finished lol
 
Anold ride, gone but not forgotten

One word of advice.  These are possibly the best glass towels out there on the market but be sure to wash them before using them.  I didn't, and made one heck of a mess out of my glass.  Once I washed them and used them again they worked amazingly well.  They definitely don't grab and roll like the others did.  They do get a little damp, but that's when the old towels come in handy to just "polish up."   Very good towels. 

Revive Hand Polish is considered a "Pre Wax" Cleaner. Use that and follow up with buttery wax if thats what you are looking for. 
 
Cleaner Wax seems like something that was invented by big box stores, pretty much "combining" two products into one in the name that really just does the same thing as one product. When was the last time you used a "Cleaner" Wax and noticed your paint looked different that just using a straight Wax. Try buttery wax side by side with a "cleaner wax" and you won't notice the difference.
 
Tip: Use a sealant before the wax for better protection.

Over the holiday weekend I managed to find road construction and tar/oil. my white truck was...covered. 
I had just applied H20 G&G the day before. All I could think of was how much this sucks. While the truck and tar was warm from the sun I sprayed it with detail spray and the tar wiped right off! I couldn't believe it! Awesome!  Great protection from a spray on product. 

Too much product...maybe? I use the grey edgeless microfiber towel and then finish with a double soft. I only use 1-2 sprays per panel.

Thank you to all of you who serve in emergency services and military roles. It really takes a special person to see and do some of the things required of you, and I know we all greatly appreciate it even though it goes largely unsaid.

I routinely use isopropyl alcohol (about 50 percent with distilled water) after polishing. It doesn't take a soaked towel - just a couple of sprays per panel and a wipe.
 
You don't have to worry about residue from the ipa. It will evaporate very quickly.
 
I like to clear the polish just to make sure I'm happy with the results before moving on to sealant.
