Any advantage to layering Souveran?

Sorry, another Souveran question. I've got two layers of #21 and one layer of Souveran. How many layers of Souveran is adviseable or am I just wasting product? Will multiple layers increase the depth/shine etc?



Thanks again.
 
I still say I can see the difference in two layers and on some colors a very slight difference in three layers but past that I don't see a difference. RMG on ther surface first does produce a different look.

IRMG + Natty's looks incredible, I can only imagine RMG + Souveran.
 
I don't think multiple layers of Souveran will improve durability, you'd get about what is normal for a single application Souveran upon application of the last layer. With regards to appearance, multiple layers of carnaubas will slightly distort how the paint looks, which is perceived as depth. You get the best results applying a single layer at a time after each wash for the next 3-4 washes after the initial application. It really won't look wetter, more reflective or shiny, but you should notice additional depth to the finish.

Thanks Scott, I'll wait till after the first wash and reapply.

Yes; basically spit shining, only slower. :D
 
With Souveran being so easy to work with, I'd experiment on a panel or two and see if you notice any benefit. Multiple layers (spit-shined if done at once or even *not* if you want to see the "concours waxing" effect), long set-up times (you don't have to W-O-W-O, I often let it dry for quite a while), play around with it and see what works best *for you*.
 
Does RMG+Souveran really look better than Souveran over say, FPII(well it's not really "over" it, but you get the idea)??



I did notice a *big* difference in FPII+Souveran vs. VM+Souveran on black. The FPII+Souveran looked MUCH better than the latter.

It depends on your eyes. Using FPII as a base will likely give super clear, crisp reflections, while RMG and to a lesser extent, VM, slightly less crisp reflective properties but a richer look. It all depends on what looks best to your eyes.



Another thing to consider, FPII will polish the paint more deeply than VM so that could explain the difference you saw.
