  • Layering Carnuba's?

    Is it possible to layer carnuba's? I was thinking of layer #16 and #26 but I thought I read somewhere that you couldnt do this as one would remove the other.

    If possible what do you think:
    #16 then #26
    or
    #26 then #16

    Here is a thread from some time ago about the NXT/#26 combo:



    I don't think #26 or #16 are carnubas I think they are blends.

      Q: Is it possible to layer carnauba’s?

      Short answer: Yes

      A: Define Layering by applying more products on top of one that has already cross-linked you can increase it’s density (up to a point). The thin film of product that’s applied isn’t really another layer.
      Each subsequent applications adherence process is that the solvents work their way into the microscopic gaps and valleys of the previous ‘layer’ thereby creating an anchor, and by surface tension, when the paint film surface is level then this density can no longer be increased (i.e. there is nothing to anchor to)

      A level paint film surface improves the paint film surface’s desired optical properties (i.e. surface reflectance, clarity, gloss, and depth of shine)

        Try them both see which one you like better. I like #16 on top of #26, the #16 has better durabiltity IMO
