Can OTC waxes be layered?

I'm detailing a car for a cousin and he wants an OTC that will last. I've had very good luck with several layers of Klasse SG and topped off with P21s. As we all know, carnaubas won't ever last as long as we want. Can something like M26 be layered or does it contain cleaners? Are there any OTC waxes that don't truly contain cleaners? He'd like to maintain it himself after I'm finished with it. And he's not really interested in ordering online. Thanks in advance.

Mothers PURE Carnauba paste can be layered, 26 can in paste form, the liquid form to a much lesser extent. There aren't many.

You can get collinite 845 or 476 at harbor freight retail shops. It's OTC, cheap, loks good, and lasts.

I'm curious - I see this popup a lot here, why is otc important? I remember I had thought that when first started, but.. internet shopping so much easier. Click. Insert CC. Buy. I don't even have to get out of my seat Maybe too dangerous?

#26 actually has decent durability. Two coats for even coverage is enough.

My harbor freight doesn't have collinite but I found an ebay seller that has it cheap and free shipping so that doesn't matter much to me.

Well he said his friend wants to maintain the car after he's done so for someone who isn't really into detailing, ordering online might seem like overkill. You're right though, I see some people who are really interested in keeping their car looking good but they refuse to order anything online, it doesn't make sense
