I wash and wax my Carens every week.
Turtle wash and wax , then turtle wax colour polish (mines red ).Looks really shiny and the rain just rolls off , makes cleaning it easier as well. I polish the wheels with MER polish , but I will invest in some wheel wax.


Is the Biannual wax different to normal wax/polish as we call it?

I think some chrome covers on the fixed roof rails would look nice.

I did not know it is called biannual wax
On the other hand I recall statement that it stays on for long time. It was one of the reasons I decide to go with this product.
And no, I do not do it only twice a year. I do my best to do it at least once a month. Do not have time to do it more often. For sure not every week. I wish I could.

When you wash it/wax it every week, do you do it yourself?

One more thing about the wax. It does stay around three months (in winter, with snow and so on).

Yes I do wash and wax myself. When I feel really lazy I visit one of our many Polish (Poe-lish) hand car washes , they do a great job , then its just a drive home to wax it.


I have a large drive and the dog is always outside with me, I'm stuck inside most of the week at work so it's a pleasure to get some outside time.

I called it Bi-annual wax because that was how it was referred to in an earlier post.

Bravo ,that looks exceedingly clean.
I notice that your car also appears low over the rear wheel , although the 17" wheels give it a higher look, (more wheel less tyre).

A leather seat cover set from USA costs $495 , but the middle row have arm rests, if I could source a middle row with arm rests I would invest in them. Yours look cool.I wish I had known they were going to change to a lighter interior when I bought mine,(Black interior).

Just popping outside to give the old girl another going over..........

As soon as I took possession of my carens, I washed (but not polished) with autoglym body shampoo. Applied one coat of Autoglym extra gloss protection. I will only wash the car every week for the next six months, before polishing with autoglym resin polish and applying extra gloss protection. This seem to have worked in my previous new cars.

By the way, how do i keep water drops rolling on my window screen? Is there any special liquid available for this?
