Hey guys, curious if its a good idea to apply multiple layers of anything via pc. For example, if I`ve applied some wax last week, would using a PC on speed 1 to apply more wax remove or damage the previous layers?

Nah, since you`ve waited one week, I think the layer of protection should be strong enough for layering. Just don`t use excess pressure and you should be fine.
I`m still old fashion by doing it by hand..................:usa

Unless it`s a cleaner wax or has some sort of abrasives in it, it`s fine to layer. However, not all waxes can be layered (due to the mild abrasives to remove previous buildup/residue) so extra coats of those are purely for even coverage. What wax are you using?

You`re fine layering 845. Just don`t apply it very aggressively, like with lots of pressure (and even then I dunno if it`d dissolve/compromise the previous layer).
For the paste waxes, if you`re really worried you might try a pseudo-spitshine: spray a *VERY little* chilled QD or distilled water (I usually use Griot`s Speedshine) on first and then apply the wax, working it until all traces of the "spit" are gone. Repeat for emphasis- don`t use too much spit, just enough to lube the surface a little.
FWIW, I never apply my waxes with speed 1, never even *tried* speed 1 that I can recall. I usually apply waxes with 3.5-4.5, with 4 probably being the speed I use most often.
