All major waxe companies are hesitant to make a non cleaner and non abrasive wax or polish as the demand for the average Joe Blow over the counter wax is to try to make an all fix it in one step product (in reality it really does not fix anything in one step, it just covers junk up) so there are few products on the market that will layer.

To layer it has to two things:

1. contain no abrasives and no cleaners
2. and the previous coat has to CURE to accept the next coat.

Synthetic products are the only coatings that cure, Carnauba wax products never really cure so even though you have a non cleaner and non abrasive carnauba wax like P21S (about the most popular non cleaner and non abrasive wax on the market) the jury is still out whether it will layer or not.

Look for a non cleaner and non abrasive synthetic product to layer, Zaino is one and Duragloss I think still makes a synthetic non cleaner and non abrasive product I think but few other companies do................

If NXT did indeed layer it would definitely be advertised that way.

**THE FOLLOWING COMMENT IS ONLY IF YOU DON'T USE ZAINO**

For best looking paint polish every 6 months and wax about every 3. Use high quality polish and wax. Do not use cleaner wax.

Multi coats of products like NXT may make your car look better due to the amount of oils in the product.
