How many times do you guys have your cars detailed a year?
For those who have their cars detailed, on average how many times do you have your cars professionally detailed in and out? I usually try to get it done once a year atleast and do the usual wash every week if the weather permits and wax every month or 2. Though I would like to have it professional detailed twice a year. I'm usually not that good at doing the interior. As the pro places can clean the headliner and things like that.

You wax your car every 10 days.....man.
I stip the car twice a year using a dawn detergent wash with a good clay bar rubbing afterwards. Wash again, then use a polishing compound followed by a good wax. Usually takes me a weekend.

That being said, I wash every week and wax about every 3-4 months.
I don't trust the detailers around here with my car.

I usually wash and wax (P21S) every Tues. and polish, clay and apply sealant every 6 months. Interior and engine is done every week as well.

Just want to correct your statement so it doesn't mislead anyone. Good sealants (Menzerna FMJ or Klasse) usually last 6-9 months depending on the climate. Polish is used to smooth the paint surface of imperfections.

The Menzerna FMJ is my personal favorite sealant and it does look outstanding while protecting for months. I also love the way it feels so slick after applying it.
