Since you're spreading the layers over several weeks, I wouldn't say you're wasting your time. There is a point of diminishing return, but I'm sure the first layer will have degraded to some degree (e.g. optics, slickness) before you put on your second layer. I would say you're replenishing your wax barrier!

This is very good to hear, as I find waxing to be quite therapeutic!

I find it to be therapeutic too! Honestly, if your car is slicker after you put on the second or third coat, it was already worth the effort, to me anyways. I rather wax with something like Blackfire or UPP every other week to keep my car "super" slick as opposed to keeping it "pretty" slick for months using Zaino(YES! I've have tried all those products and that is my opinion and mine alone!). Then again, I hear Z8 makes your car "super" slick also. HMMMMMM............

TOGWT,

Super dooper crazy thanx for making the prep guide(on the previous page) for me!

Man, I always love your posts. You say only what needs to be said and you also have a very extensive knowledge of how and why stuff works. ( I often refer to my dictionary when I come across one of your posts)

Well, this post is just to thank you dude, for taking the time to help a fellow autopian as you usually do. thanx again,
Cheers M8.
