58th coats of Klasse sealant

Hey if he wants to put that many coats of sealant on his car then more power to him. The words extreme and overkill come to mind but it's better to be safe than sorry right? :D

His comment about using Forever Black regularly bothers me though. Forever Black is a restoration dye, not a dressing and is not meant for frequent applications. :hmmm:
 
Same here wasted. I had over 30+ coats of UPP for my winterization plan the 1st year I found this site.The ice,road grime(dirt),salt and snow slid off my car.:passout:

agentxc_02, I can't tell much about the depth of the finish, but it is one good looking vehicle. I like the Volvo styling of that specific vehicle.

I just doubt there's "58 coats" of sealant on any car. Period.

Maybe he's trying to emulate you Zaino guys. You apply a zillion coats and then never wax again.


Did I find my way to the front of that line? :D

looks good. However, I think at some point the law of diminishing returns takes over. Just my 0.02

I agree with both of the above statements, but who am I to deprive anyone of something they seemingly enjoy. ;)

Uh huh - at least we don't seriously think you can have 60 distinguishable layers of a wax on a vehicle. Two to three is enough to get to "bullet proof" stage. :D

I don't think you know where the line is even at. HA! :rofl
 
Pretty much what I got out of it was that the layer thickness at third layer level is pretty insignificant going forward. Interesting experiment, and pretty much seems to support what I personally think, which is good for me. :)

I concur. Actually it looked like a 3rd layer could lessen the over all thickness. I really hope he does the test with a sealant like Zaino though...
 
Ever heard of diminishing returns and the fact that pressure on layers overtime decreases the film build? Laugh. Good example of constant maintenance though.
 
One thing this makes me wonder about is continual use of a QD or S&W. How quickly do they contribute to the degradation of the coat(s) of LSP you have on the vehicle.
 
I do agree with the others here in the area of after 2-3 coats. I am of the opinion that you will not gain anything after a 2-3 coat application. I would think at the 3 coat point the wax will surely be at a consistent level all around the vehicles surface. :inspector: At this point I am sure you have covered all areas and have a somewhat consistant amount on the surface.

Remember the wax is applied and then wiped away to a point until a final wipe down stage is complete. I am also of the opinion that every time we wash and wipe the surface "dry", we are stripping some layered product from the surface. :inspector::notme:

I guess as long as one likes to wax you have no foul. I am also sure most are lucky to have applied 1-2 coats "of anything" in a period of weeks or months...:howdy
 
I think the answer is immediate and continual. If not the product itself, the mechanical action of moving the towel over the surface.

That doesn't stop me from doing it though. :)

Another thing is using a QD or S&W for final buffing of sealants/waxes to remove dusting or product residual. I think in the case of a sealant who has a requirement to stay dry for x number of hours you have compromised the longevity.
