<HTML>Thanks for the post...
I was just curious, as there are only a few people that you have to constantly explain your every move to on the forum..., (as if they have never detailed before, or like there is only "one way")
No matter what someone does, if it is not praising (a certain product), then you are using the wrong product and paying too much.
If you do not use the "old school" techniques, then you are wasting time,
ETC, ETC:::::
Just seems like there is only one or maybe two that do this type of "campaign" or "marketing". (I will not mention any names, but if the shoe fits...,)
Everyone else seems to like the different ideas, techniques, opinions and stratagies..., I know I do..., listening to someone elses ideas is the only way to learn and advance (no one person "knows it all", although they will pounce on anyone with a new or innovative idea..., like no one else can think for themselves, LOL!!)
I really enjoy the different ideas and such.
It just gets "old" post after post watching everyone explain themselves over and over to one or two people as if they were an "ultimate authority" on "how to do it right".
I personally like different views..., some work for me others do not, but if it works for you, why would anyone put you down for it is beyond me???
I have learned a lot of "tips & tricks", not only from this forum, but several others.
"Man with closed mind- shut door on learning, stuck in hole."
Man with open mind- known for his wisdom and enjoys unlimited knowledge"
just my .02

<HTML>Man.........this one is dragging on.......
Bud would be correct in that "layering" is seen as laying down multiple coats of one product in one session. It can also mean that you have layered a carnauba wax over a polymer. Many believe this will enhance the shine or give a polymered car that "carnauba" look.
Back to my post a few ago.......I used to detail 3 seal gray Porsches and I was able to do a side by side comparison on them using 3 different products on them to see if the look was any different. On one 911 I used a polymer on another I used a carnauba paste wax and on the third I used a combo of the polymer and the caranauba.
They did have different looks to them although to the average joe they perhaps all looked the same. One 911 had Klasse AIO applied first then a polymer, I believe it was UPP. The color was nice but it was too dark. The next 911 was polished using (I think this is correct) Hi-Temps Light Cut, Pinnacles Liquid Soveran and then topped with Trade Secret. This combo was not as dark as the AIO/UPP but rather it seemed to bring out the metallic of the paint and it had a nice wet look to it. The third 911 I can't recall what I used but it did look very nice, not as wet as the second 911 though.
So you can say that I did layer some waxes and it may have been that the Pinnacle Liquid on top of the polished paint was all it really needed. I only looked at the paint in the sun after I applied the Trade Secret. My general purpose of "layering" is not because I seek to enhance the shine or gloss but rather to 1) make sure of complete coverage and 2) to experiment to see which products look best on what paint and color.
That is all, over an out
