Question Mixing Two Types of wax

I like the wet look of CG butter wax but doesn't last. Can i put C G Butter Wet Wax after Collinite 845 Liquid Wax ? Both are blends correct.

You can do it, but you stand a good chance of your clear coat failing early because of it

Yes you can, just make sure the first layer of wax is 100% cured before applying the second layer.

It's called "topping".

No. Was a good question actually. I just was wondering if Flash was trying to be serious lol. If not, it's pretty hilarious...

Re: Mixing Two Types of wax

Yup, like was said, it can be done. Plenty of people do it. Some people like having the best of both worlds, like using a sealant for protection, and topping it with a Carnauba wax for depth.

I'm sorry. Looks like I was full of myself this morning

Yea man you're safe to mix waxes, compounds and just about any other kinda cleaning/conditioning agent. Thats how great products are developed. Take the strong points of a partcular product and combine them with another. I do it often
