Carnuba
Hey Guys
I'm using carnuba paste wax (no polish or cleaners added to the wax).
If I put on 2 or 3 coats will it make it better, worse, or no diff, in terms of the depth of shine?.
When I used to use Zaino products, I found the more coats you put on the better, but then it got to a point where I had to take it all off and start from the beginning-finish was looking hazy, with very little depth.
I want to avoid that with the carnuba--so 1 coat, or 3, or more, at a time?
Thanks
Steve

The carrier system used in Carnauba wax is solvent, so unless you neutralize it (see layering waxes) with cold distilled water it will remove the preceding coat
As Scott has suggested 2 layer will ensure nothing is missed

Wolfgang Fusion is a hybrid (a Carnauba wax and a polymer)
But it is a 'German' polymer; gotta love marketing a polymer is a polymer regardless of its country of origin
