Yeah...BUT....
FK1000P layers, but it's also susceptible to solvent action. The trick is to apply the subsequent layers *VERY* gently so you don't disturb the underlying/previous layer(s).
If it messes up, you'll probably see pseudo-holograms that seem to appear out of nowhere. A good buffing with a soft, plush MF and some FK425 usually takes care of them.
I got six applications on the Yukon, but I kinda think of it as being about 4 or five actual "layers".
And watch out for product build-up along tape lines/etc. and in the texture of trim. While FK1000P is a nice "clean" LSP, it *can* still build up when you do a lot of layering.

I haven't used my FK 1000p in awhile, might have to use some this spring.

Baker,
I love 1000P, I wait 24-48 for my next layer. Usually after the next wash. I apply 3 layers for winter and it holds for a good 4 months in harsh conditions.
Like Accumulator said avoid the solvent lifting by waiting, if you cannot understand Very gentle action is a must.
Cheers,
GREG

While it seems you could answer the question yourself..............
It "layers" ok, but as previously mentioned, wait at least a day, if not a wash between "layers". I don't think that it layers per se, I think that you end up with one thicker layer. I add applications between washes and after the first application on freshly stripped and polished paint, the beading and slickness isn't spectacular. After each layer between washes it gets better and better. After 5 or so applications its the most durable and protective LSP I have (Range from Collinite to Zaino). I still have the old FK1 tin from 3 years ago and have 6-8oz left.
