To change some characteristic of the first one.

E.g., if you're not thrilled with how 476S looks, you might like it better with spit-shined Souveran over top of it (not that it'll look like straight Souveran, but it does look different), or if you want better beading/dirt shedding than you get with some wax you could put #16 or 476S over top of it.

But yeah...it's a sorta iffy thing to do IMO...might make things more to one's liking, might not.

I can relate to the excitement of wanting to try many different products. (my wallet hurts).

But a more useful thing to try rather that putting one nuaba over top of another I think is to split sections of your car in half, such as your hood. Apply one wax on one half, and the other on the other half. (so beside each other, instead of on top of each other) That way you can watch how the beading, sheeting, slickness, etc. react over time this winter, and in direct comparison to each other.
