um wax??? never!!!!!!!!!!

i think since i've owned it, been almost a yr. i actually hand washed it maybe twice though, other then that, power wash 3-4 times a week, cause of salt on the road up around here, personally i'm not to worried about the paint, off roading, texas sun takes care of it on its own, just want to make sure it stays rust free and clean under the body, except when i play in the mud, but tend to wash it off soon afterwards

wash and wax everytime it went offroad. sometimes that meant once or twice a week. i'd rather be overcautious than have chipped paint

WAX huh? Good concept but I think getting it muddy is alot more fun.

I powerspray her when I am muddy but other than that drive thru for me, mainly I think it is time thing, or I am just lazy, either one really pick your choice.

I wish I waxed it more, but to be honest it hasn't seen wax in over a year...
