There are acouple schools of thought on layering waxes, some say you cannot, there is no way the oils and solvetns in the new level will discolve the previous level
there is also the school of though that each layer adds more, both in protection and looks. you can throw as many layers on and each will do something
There is also the school of though that you an layer them, he protection added is little to none however the look of the wax impoves with each coat.
I personaly feel there is a very sharp dimishing return as far as protection with the wax, you will let some extra protection with ach layer however the main reaso for layering multiple coats is for the looks, the ptical range changes with each coat.. its really cool to watch
anyone who has tried multiple coats of vintage will understand this addition of looks very well. I think vintage shows it best.
so back to VW (which i love btw), you an add multiple coats no problem, i would follow the same idea as with zymol. Let the wax sweat (although VW dosent look like buffertrails when sweating it will still sweat), give the car a quick spray down with VW quick detailer acouple hours later and you should be good to add another coat.

Yea, well see I've applied Vintage many ways from no curing time, to back to back layers and then applying one coat and waiting the Zymol recomended 3 to 4hrs to applying other coats after 24hrs and to me applying a second or third or fourth coat of Vintage sworks best after 24hrs. Now the one thing I don't do when layering Vintage is give it the Field Glaze wipe down, I do the Field Glaze once I'm done with the second coat....what I mean is that if I'm going to apply two coats of Vintage then on the second coat I do the Field Glaze. On the first coat I just wipe, let it sit for 24hrs and then wipe it down and then apply the second coat, this method has worked reallywell for me and I prefer it...but like I said that's how I like to do it...oh and only my vehicles have ever received two coats of Vintage.
