Layering Poly Wax

[Griot's Garage]

So, recently our R&D team was testing layering Liquid Gloss Poly Wax and found a little trick. Apply and remove the first coat and let it sit for 24 hours without exposure to anything. Then apply the second coat. The resulting protection is "semi-permanent." It`s lasted through 40 Dawn dish soup washes... and counting!

IME that`s a good approach for many LSPs, and also for some products that "shouldn`t layer".

And it sounds like you have a good product in that Liquid Gloss Poly Wax!

Layering can be a polarizing topic which is why we`ve tested it so much. It definitely works wonders with Poly Wax

Layering can be a polarizing topic ...

Heh heh...yeah, ain`t that the truth!?! Especially I guess coming from a vendor, you know..the old "they just want you to use/buy more product" argument.

So, just for the record when you say

It definitely works wonders with Poly Wax..

I believe you.

I did this once when I over applied Klasse SG. Worked very well but it took too long (24 hours and then 12 more hours for the 2nd application to cure enough to drive - "daily driver problem").

Bill-- How is the resistance to bird bombs and spotting is Poly Wax? Have you done any testing in this area?

Bird dirt is obviously very acidic so if left on too long, it will etch at some point. All of the cars with Poly Wax on them have had bird droppings wiped off within 24 hours and there has been no etching.

We might have to find a bird-friendly street light to park under for awhile!

Does Poly wax stain trim?

Does Poly wax stain trim?

Poly Wax was formulated and tested to dry on clear but we still don`t recommend direct application to trim.

Oldfordisbetter- Noting that caveat above, from the people who should know...whenever I use a made-for-paint LSP on trim I use the W-O-W-O approach rather than letting it dry. Sounds like that`d be appropriate in this case too, should you decide to try it.

If anybody *does* try it on trim, I`d love to hear how it works. (Another nod to the official recommendation that it not be used on trim, this is just Accumulator, not anybody who knows from this stuff.)

If I would buy it I would machine apply: probably with my Cyclo. With the amount of trim most vehicles have these days im bound to get against it with my tool. So I should be fine if im careful and wipe it off quickly before it dries if I do get some on the trim.

And I hear wipeoff is super easy according to the reviews on your site.

Ah, nice to hear that somebody else is using a Cyclo!

(Apologies for enthusing over a non-Griot`s polisher on the Griot`s Forum )

I gotta get that Jeff Brown guy to leave a bottle with me next time he`s over

We used Poly Wax on this M3 he helped me with a few weeks ago...Definitely looked great!

Where do I submit an application for Jeff Brown to help me with a car??
