*edit* I sealed my car last July with something--can't really remember. After each wash I use OCW or M135, do I have 50+ coats of OCW on my car? That's it, I am going out to take the pic--let me go make my sign.

Whether or not the 50 layers make a difference is a matter of debate - well, it isn't really, I think we are all pretty much convinced we've long going into the law of diminishing returns there, but at the end of the day, if someone wants to layer 50, or 5,000,000 layers of something on their car, thats up to them
My Volvo is looking pretty damn sweet with 5 layers of Z2 and Z5, topped with Z8... just going to wash and top up with Z8 every so often now, though given how easy the Z8 is to use and how nice it smells, it may be getting this every wash!! LOL

Good marketing for Zaino.
BTW: Not to bash Zaino (I use it myself), just pointing out the little benefit you get from it.

"With just one application of Z-3™ Show Car Polish, you'll have the wettest-looking, deepest, slickest, and clearest finish you can imagine."
I guess the English language is not capable of describing the deep, glossy, wet dream that multiple coats provides.
Seriously, one coat looks great. I've never seen anything gained from multiple coats. | |

Good marketing for Zaino.

Thanks in advance...
Marc | I remember another one that when the chat forum was up would also post about how many layers he had on this car of his.
In between chats, he claims to apply another layer. Oh it was classic BS and we lead him on for a little bit, then after time ran away because we were "haters" or something to that effect. Can't remember his forum name, but it sure was a good laugh on the many layers he applied.
I'm sure one of you will remember this...

Deanski
