Re: TechWax 2.0 over EO Nanowax
Without a battery of fancy scientific equipment it is hard to tell, but I would guess that most of what you see is just NXT2.0 (since its mild cleaners would have removed some of the EONanowax, and then added NXT polish+wax). Basically, as said above, your process is similar to 2 coats of NXT-2.0. The second coat is largely to ensure no missed or thin spots. Rather than ending up twice as thick, the second coat likely partly removes some of the first coat, and that is likely replaced with some of the second coat (and most of the remaining second coat is excess that gets removed). Almost impossible to know how much of the EONanowax that the NXT cleaners+wax remove.
There was the one very detailed "layering" test that showed that applying many coats of any wax had essentially no change in wax thickness. Whether the resulting wax is mostly the first coat and others wiped off, or whether underlying coats get mostly removed and replaced, the detailed scientific measurement showed that the net result was essentially just one coat thickness. In fact, how thick a resulting coat was almost entirely determined by how agressively the last wax was wipped/removed. If the first and second coats are of two different waxes, the net result is probably a blend of the two (and who knows how much of each - that would be terribly difficult to measure).
So, I suspect your situation is similar to many of us who apply one coat of NXT and a second of #26 (or other carnuba), and we perceive a mixed result which we prefer. Also this is likely why Meguiars added synthetic polymers to new GoldClass Enhanced to give it a one-step mix of properties. In the end, whatever works for you
