How do I apply a second layer of wax on my car?

[Techie333]

I just waxed, applied wax and then wiped the haze off. I hear ppl always saying they apply like 3 layers, now I want to do a second layer of wax. Do I just do the same thing again!?!?

yes...mind boggling, isn't it?

Not all waxes can be layered... since cleaner waxes contain solvents/abrasives that remove the previous coats... and other waxes have solvents to keep the wax soft that may also liquify & remove the previous layer(s) of wax.
You CAN layer polymer/sealants like Klasse SG and Zaino and then top with a coat of carnauba wax though.

i find it insulting that you would consider a cleaner wax as a wax.

Any can of wax that says WAX on it, and not some multipurpose garbage, can be layered just fine.

One thing I always found worthwhile to do is to wipe a fresh wax job down with ice water and chamois it dry. Cures the wax and helps it last a lot longer. Cleaner, polish, wax. In that order. Or just wash the car with Murphy's oil soap and forget the wax.
