Hi Jesstzn,
We were off yesterday, usually when we teach a
Saturday class the weekend before, we're allowed a day off during the week, that's why we didn't reply further to this thread or any thread after the morning passed yesterday. (We built a fence all day... fun fun!
)
We read your thread here,
Layering NXT or NXT 2.0
And we apologize you don't feel your question was answered? So let us try again...

Yes, if by the word layer you mean an uniform layer in thickness and coverage.
If by the word
layer you mean that you can continually increase the thickness of the layer with more and more applications of product, then "No" because the surface of your car's paint will only hold so much product before you reach the point of diminishing returns, which means you will have reached a plateau and when you reach this plateau basically all you're doing is applying product and wiping it off, not increasing the thickness of the layer.

I'm not talking about the act of friction from application .. but the results of the chemicals/solvents/cleaners/ abrasives "IN" the product removing whats cured below.

No. When applying a second or third coat of either NXT or M21, the ingredients will not remove the previously applied layer from the surface in and of themselves but will in fact create a uniform layer or coating on the surface until the point of diminishing returns has been reached. Of course you touched on factors that are out of our control and that's application material and application process, for example you could remove paint using baby oil and a wool cutting pad on a rotary buffer because while the baby oil is a pure lubricant and not abrasive in any way, the fibers of a wool cutting pad spinning on a rotary buffer under pressure are powerful enough in and of themselves to be abrasive.
NXT and M21 are not cleaner/waxes, a cleaner/wax is a wax formulated to remove a wide range of paint defects, swirls, scratches, oxidation, stains, etchings, etc. NXT and M21 are not formulated for or intended to be used this way. If your paint has defects that you want to remove you should use a product formulated to do this, for example a compound, paint cleaner, cleaner/polish or even a true cleaner/wax.
We know there are other company's that teach that you can do this with their products and for more information on this claim you should contact the manufacture of those products.
Meguiar's doesn't make a wax that will layer like the way layering is taught on
other forums, that is by adding more and more wax you will get a thicker and thicker layer on the surface.
To date we've never seen anyone prove this is possible with any product in a way that can be,
1. Measured.
2. Repeated by the average person.
3. The collective or cumulative effect of more and more layers won't cloud or diminish the clarity of the paint itself.
So if there's a product that claims it can be layered you need to check with the manufacture with any questions you have on how to do this.
We hope we've answered your questions, (we think we have?), at the end of the day what's really important is that you're happy with the product you're using and the results it's giving you. If you're ever unhappy with a Meguiar's product we offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, simply return the product and your receipt back to the place of purchase or call our Customer Care Center and they will help you. 1-800-347-5700
