What are you using ?
There was not tons of oxidation (not worth clay barring) and I was lazy before getting the buffer so I used Meguiars' Cleaner Wax (one-step) exclusively. After a few applications I moved straight to the Step 3 Carnuba wax and will rotate every 3-5 applications most likely.

Out of habit and perfection I am still applying the wax by hand (also due to the fact that the clearcoat does a pretty good job of repelling fallout and contaminants) so a machine 3-stage is not really required at this time.

Oh, and I wax my rims too (2 coats of the Step 3 when they were bnib to start)

Makes cleanup easier especially with the number of spokes...
