It largely depends on the specific product you use. "Pure" waxes and sealants can usually be layered after 12-24 hours cure time. Products with cleaners, abrasives, and/or solvents can't really be layered.

If you're talking about Turtle Wax Ice, I'd say anything more than two layers is a waste.

I've used Jeff's Werkstatt, which is the updated version of Klasse SG. It's a good product, but it didn't last as long as Zaino for me.

Okay well can you comment on the SG's claim of lasting a year then?

I used the Meguiars Gold Class, and their forums basically say anything more than 2 layers is a waste.

I use Meguires high-tech wax, it's a cleaner, so you can't layer it, but it's hearty enough that you don't really need to, and it seems to have a long life too.
