Re: Can wax coats be build up or layered?

well what about a sealant and then a wax?thats what ive been doing.i put a coat of #21 and then a coat of #26.

That is my philosophy! Carnauba on top of synthetic. Synthetic for the lasting properties and the Carnauba for the look and feel.

wow you should meet Richard aka Octane Guy. Both of you are into detailing, web design and video editing.

I will try to meet him sometime. I just read his website. I have a lot of time on my hands if he ever needs help with any projects.

This is an nice website. The Civic Hybrid looks awsome, considering hondas always have really bad orange peel

Thanks!
Someone else originally lightly wetsanded that Civic and I still saw orange peel so I did it again. Normally I wouldn't wetsand a car a second time but is was done lightly the first time. It has Meguiar's NXT wax as a finish.

Notice the 100% Meguiar's link at the bottom!

Hey Corky,

Nice website, looks like you've had a fun life! Is that your detail business also? Do you personally do the wetsanding?

Thanks Mike!
Yes, I personally do the wetsanding. I've been doing it off and on for about 20 years. It is my hobby and side business. I mainly do freelance web design and video editing.

I would love to meet you sometime and share ideas. I will be at the LA Auto Show on Dec. 9. Are you going to be there by any chance? Is Meguiar's having a display?

According to Meguiars, 2 coats of any protectant/s is to even out the look and protection. Whether you get 2 semi-distinct layers, or they mix into some new blend is anyones guess.

Is't that about what 3 coats of Zaino costs?

Let's keep this nice... nice is good.

$100.00 to anyone that can prove scientifically that more layers of Zaino results in a measurable increase in film build thickness of the coating after the 3rd application.

Thats assumed that the product is being appied and removed correctly! I think if I just poured on some wax on my car really thick and never wiped it off and let it harden I could get a larger thickness reading.

Of course. Used correctly.

Everyone talks about it, but we've never seen a single incident of proof...

What did they say in the 1980's?


Where's the beef?
