    How many coats?

    I am using Wolfgang sealant and was wondering how many coats forum members are layering? I was planning on five before I top with Pinnacle Series II.

    2 layer is all you will need...just to ensure you covered all areas..any more is useless...it will offer nothing..you can get diminishing looks also....the multiple layers can start to mute the paint....
