Default P21S 100% Carnauba

Hi,

I'm gonna wax my car next week with P21S 100% Carnauba and i was wondering how many layers should i put if i want to have around 2 month of protection?

I was thinking about 3 but i never try this wax and i heard the durability is not phenomenal.

Thanks

One of my fav waxes. Yes, not the longest durability, but extremely easy to apply and to buff off. I usually just add one layer, but repeat every month since it is so easy. I'm not sure if adding more layers will dramatically increase durability.

Layering it will not add durability. Layering that wax is a waste of time. Once a month fresh coat will be better off. P21S waxes are very easy to work with.

I think one thorough once-over will be sufficient but as others have suggested, go over it again about every month or so.

Never used JS109 but I have layered P21s 100% over Zaino and RMG and really like the look. The synthetics add the durability and clarity and the P21s adds that nuba glow on top.
