The More Coats Of Wax The Better????????

Is It True The More Coats Of Wax The Better?? I Know Applying 2 Coats Is Better For Protection And Gloss But What About Like 50 Coats?? Is That To Much ? Is It Good To Use A Solvent Based Wax Once And A While To Strip Off The Wax To Start Fresh. Is It Bad To Keep Waxing The Same Paint Is To Much Wax Bad?

I would like to know too - how many coats within what period of time is good?
(Caranubas and others. I use the caranubas, personally.)
Anyone?
Good question, Tom and Samantha!

Most people seem to agree that after 2-3 coats you aren't going to gain much. You might gain a little depth, but the cost of wax and time spend applying vs. the gain would not make it worthwhile.

just make sure the wax is a pure wax with no cleaners, if so you are not actually layering anything :-)

I will be layering souveran this summer
