Can i layer Meg #20 poly sealant??? ive heard different thoughts on this? i'll be applying it this weekend for the upcoming WINTER, or should i just apply #20 then S100? ill also apply #20 to my rims which will be in storage over the winter as well. any thoughts
 
you can layer #20 if you want, just do one layer the first week, then the second the next week. I would apply the caranuba layer after your done layering #20 bc s100 won't work well under #20.
 
No:nono

You can't layer it. It contains cleaners that will strip your previous layer off. It is sort of an all-in-one product, although with Meguiars very VAGUE instructions, a lot of people have questions about certain products.;)

Meguiar's told me in several emails that you can NOT layer No. 20, because of the cleaners.
 
I'm going to put two coats of #20. I won't bother with more layers. That way, if I missed some spots on the first layer, the second should get them and I should have one or one and a half good layers everywhere. ;)
 
Today, I did 2 applications of #20, just as taxlady said, to make sure I hadnt missed any spots. Topped it off with a coat of #26, and am calling it good for the winter (unless the weather breaks and gets warmer 1 more time before then...highly unlikely!)
 
I went insane this weekend.



2 coats of #20, 2 coats of #26, and a topper of s100.:eek: :cool: :D :shocked :xyxthumbs



I'm sure it would look better if I let the waxes cure a bit more between applications, but I wanted to get it all done this weekend so i'd be ready for winter. looks like i'm set for the next 5-6 months :(
 
I was busy detailing a car! :D With #20 and #26, actually.



I believe there is some minor layering effect, but not like Zaino or Klasse, because as various people have said, there are cleaners. However, the cleaners are very weak. I found that if I applied a coat a week for 2 or 3 weeks, there is a noticeable enhancement in the shine depth. I thought I was hallucinating, until some friends asked me how we both use #20, but my car looks better.



So the short answer is that I think it does layer a bit, but don't go crazy, as it is not Zaino. After 2 or 3 coats, there is no gain. Also, give it a week or a few days to cure between coats. Then top with a wax for a fantastic blinding shine! :xyxthumbs
 
Meguiar's has never given a consistent answer to this question. Some people have received emails from Meguiar's which say that it can be layered, while others have said that it cannot be layered.



I agree with Taxlady. A second coat is a good idea. If it can be layered, then you've got two coats. If it can't be layered, then no harm has been done, plus you've increased the odds that you've covered all of your paint.
 
thanks for all the responses guys! think ill just apply one coat of #20 then top with S100, damn i need a porter cable, and oh ya a GARGAGE!!

:xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs on both points!
 
I don't believe it has cleaners, at least not heavy ones, so I'd say layer ahead! And even if it does have cleaners, what's the problem? It's just gonna remove some/most/all of the previous layer. I'd so, layer ahead!



But if you are apprehensive about it, doing two layers is a good idea. I always reccomend doing 2 layers of anything in case you miss some spots.



Has anybody expierenced good cleaning abilities with #20?? Anybody seen it remove swirls or any defects? Just wondering-- thanks.
 
Nope, it won't remove swirls. My hood is a testament to that. Good for cleaning up minor smudges, fresh bug guts and the like, not too much else.
