How often do you wax?
I drive the car all year round.
How often do those that do wax there cars every year?
I've never waxed a car before, so I don't know what is a good number.
Once or twice a year? Once a month? One every couple weeks?
The warm season is approaching so I thought I'd give it a try.
With the Canadian winters, do we have to wax the car more than others?

How often you wax the finish depends on the conditions in which you park, drive, and live. Basically, the harsher the elements the finish is exposed to, the more you're going to want to protect the finish. Wash the car carefully and look at the finish - does the shine have the same showroom glow? It probably will, with a good wash, and will continue to do so reasonable for about 6-8 months after delivery (assuming it hasn't sat on the lot for a year before).
You can read whatever and wherever about what the 'best' wax is - but since you've never done it before, and want to do it yourself, pick something simple to apply (and polish/remove) and give yourself plenty of time to figure out the technique.
