How many coats of wax needed?

(1/2) > >>

berg:
Decided would detail my car yesterday with the products I had in the garage.

snow foamed, born to be mild wash, clayed, duragloss polish, black hole glaze and then for the wax i had some Turtle Wax "Black Hole" carnuba wax.

Now, do I need to put as many coats of the wax on as possible if I want to protect the shine/ get some good beading if it rains??

stealthwolf:
Two is usually more than enough for any way. Applying more ends up stripping previous layers so you're undoing your work. Then top up as required.

Alzak:
Make sure You leave first layer for some time to cure before layering

berg:
ok cool, so if want to put a second layer on tonight do i just need to spray dust off with megs detailer first?

reflex11:
i dont use wax, prefer sealant as it lasts longer, usually you would do 2 coats to make sure you havn't missed anywhere in the first coat :driver:
