I dont know if I really buy into all the layering stuff. I do layer certain products, but I was wondering if everyone here is layering wheel sealant. I have been playing with wheel sealant on some polished stainless steel (not an automotive use) and I applied it with my finger with very little pressure. Would I be doing a good thing by gently putting more layers on top of the one I already have or really nothing at all?
Should I be layering wheel sealant?

Detail time!
I think 3 layers of Wheel Sealant is what a lot of people apply, over a few days. A cool test would be to divide the wheel up into 1/4s. Then you (or anyone) can leave 1/4 bare, 1 layer on another, 2 layers on the next and 3 layers on the last 1/4. Then you can go back and check the results after a week or two. If you can't see any visible differences when the wheel is dirty, rinse it off with a hose, and then check for differences.
Good question that applies to a lot of products.
Personally, I try to use two applications of most products to be sure of full coverage. Other than for that reason, I'm really not into the layering thing.
For me, doing a fresh application every 4 to 6 weeks seems to work good.
Maybe a periodic refreshing of your wheel sealant on your polished SS would work for you. :dunno:

From our testing and feedback ,before we released the product, we came to the conclusion that 2-3 coats worked best and lasted longest. There are so many variables as to application methods and removal methods, as well as maintenance procedures that we went with 2-3 coats on the instruction label. I personally saw a difference between 1 and 2 coats as far as ease of maintenance between applications.
If you are rubbing real hard, then i doubt more coats will do much, if you lay it on and lightly buff, I think you get more benefits from the extra coats.

I always do two coats, mainly just to ensure complete coverage...
Yeah, I will definitely have to refresh it pretty often. The SS I'musing it on a is a goold ole S&W revolver. The front of the cylinder gets soiled pretty bad with each range outing, and I spend quite a bit of time polishing that area to make sure that it looks nice. Not really necessary I guess, but I really like it that way. Maybe I should take a picture for The website Steve.
