I was wondering how often should I wax my coach being the paint job is only
three years old and it has a Emron Paint on it? Could it be just a waste of
time or what? I do wash it and keep it clean and have not noticed any
difference in the paint over the time that I have owned my bird.

Once a year should keep the paint protected. But with clear coat, etc. you may not really need to wax it all that often. In my "old age" I've gotten lazy and I haven't waxed my car in 5 years (but it doesn't look that bad for a 16 year old car) -- it's been about 1-1/2 years since I had the coach waxed.

Enron is single stage, no clear coat. I use Klasse All-In-One
and Klasse Glaze (acrylic hardening lasts a year, UVA/B
protection). Apply w/ Portercable 7424 orbital buffer. Takes
2 days.

I wax my coach with F-21 Turtle Wax three times per year. It takes me about 4 hours. I have no complaints.

worries.

Emron is kinda too hard to be clearcoated. they might have used Imron. then
there is ameron (use amron this on hydroseeder tanks). Imron is actually better
than emron because newer imron flexes where the older hard shell single stage
emron cracks and lets water get in and rust the udersurface. Many of the paints
now are refered to as paintsystems. I think you can add a harnder to imron to
make it single stage (no clear required) the hardner sets the colorcoat up with
a shine and the shine is so smooth that the clear cant bite on and hold.
