Do you have to leave any time between waxes / polishes etc?
How many coats of each do you use?

Post by: JoeDarKa on May 05, 2013, 10:44:37 am: I leave a little bit of time between each coat but usually pushed for time so would rather it all done and protected! I usually do 1 or 2 layers of polish. 1 layer of glaze. 2 layers of sealant. 2 layers of wax

My the way I didn't really have a break in between coats. It took me around an hour for each phase.

However as it was my first attempt I think I might give it another coat of each black hole and natty paste just to give it that bit of extra protection and depth.
