  3. I assume everytime you wash your car, whether by yourself or a car wash that the previous coat of wax comes off, so I guess is it without saying that after every wash you should re-wax?
  4. If I simply throw water over the car to remove dust or spray burst bird poop with water, will that remove a coat of wax?

Thanks!
1. machine wash can damage your car. in fact, on the nismo models, there's even a warning sticker on the rear spoiler that machine wash could damage the car.
2. if water doesn't bead off of my car, then i wax. usually about once every 2 months for me.
3. no, water and soap shouldn't wash away the wax coating immediately. too much waxing can do more damage than good.
4. again, water won't immediately wash away wax.
